IDA Ontario is thrilled to announce that we are providing 116 public libraries mini-grants to purchase decodable books and dyslexia resources! We would like to thank the generosity of IDA Ontario donors and Read October 2021 for funding this program.
We received so many fantastic applications across Ontario, including many northern, rural, and First Nation communities. The high demand for this program encourages our goal of funding more libraries in the future. To support this initiative please click the button below to donate.
This program was a great success in 2021!
"The staff has benefitted from the increased knowledge of dyslexia that this partnership has provided, which now has made them more confident in assisting those who require these resources and further support."
- Guelph Public Library
"Parents of early readers are raving about the decodable easy readers - they are almost never on the shelf!"
- Woodstock Public Library
"With all of the challenges families have faced due to disruptions in schooling, having the decodable readers has really alleviated some of the anxiety that parents are facing regarding their children's reading abilities"
