Our Mission is to improve the lives of children with dyslexia and related reading disorders.

Through the efforts of our Board of Directors, Certified Teachers, and devoted volunteers, we are able to provide a summer enrichment program for children with dyslexia and related reading disorders.  Our summer camp offers a variety of classes and activities which target the unique needs of the children we serve.  Over a 9 year period teachers and parents of our children have seen firsthand how our program is committed to:

                                -  improving reading, writing and spelling skills
                                -  helping children overcome feelings of disparity 
                                -  building special long lasting friendships 
                                -  boosting self confidence and self esteem

Often our campers leave feeling excited about the upcoming school year, better about themselves, and sad that camp is over!  They've learned ways to compensate and techniques unique to their needs that they are eager to try.  Just as important, they realize they are not the only one trying to overcome struggles in school.  We strive to teach them everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but in our own ways we can all learn to be better at what we do!

lncluded in the variety of classes and activities we offer, is instruction from the Wilson Reading System.  Many districts in our area use this same research based approach, most appropriate for improving a child's encoding and decoding skills. Specifically, this program incorporates specific, sequential, direct, multisensory instruction. Each day our students' reading, writing, and spelling has the potential to improve through the offerings of the Wilson Reading System.  This year other classes will include Creative Writing, Reader's Theater, Math and Social Skills Building.   

           Join us as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary this summer and
            come be a part of an affordable and enriching summer program!

Reading Heroes (Magic Mirror, Inc.) is a non-profit organization.  Although our location has always been at a public school, we are not associated with any public school offerings.  Because of this, we do not have the funds to provide transportation.  As a non-profit, we have a limited budget and rely mostly on volunteers and sponsorships to keep our camp operational.  Children with dyslexia are at the heart of our efforts and keep us motivated to provide this summer program year after year.
