Stride Academy Charter School

What if your child who once was able to read, is no longer able to on their own? As though they have hit a brick wall!

That's a reality for many kids by the time they reach third grade. Reading is more than a skill—it's a lifeline to a world of knowledge, connection and self confidence.

Meet Madi, a seventh-grader with dyslexia. This means that Madi's brain processes language and text differently and this makes it difficult to learn in typical classrooms, but STRIDE Academy's STRIDES For Reading Program worked for her. From struggling in first grade to nearing completion of our highest reading level by the eighth grade, Madi is a testament to what focused, one-on-one coaching can achieve. Without our STRIDES For Reading program, students like Madi may have fallen through the cracks. 

Did You Know?

• 2 out of 5 children struggle to read.

• 1 out of 5 have dyslexia.

• Over half of American adults read below a sixth-grade level.

• Nearly 1 in 5 adults reads below a third-grade level.

These are more than statistics; they're barriers to a better future—barriers we're dedicated to breaking down at Stride Academy.
