“As a student that struggled with reading my daughter would often say “Mom I can’t read” or “I don’t like reading” and this made learning to read VERY difficult. For the last year and a half STAIR has helped her gain confidence with her reading and start to enjoy reading different books. I think the biggest impact with our reading has been our tutors. She calls them “her teenage friends” who help her read. The environment and relationship between her and the tutors is what makes STAIR such a GREAT program. I can honestly say that it’s the tutors that have helped her the most. They seem to have a genuine interest in working with the kids.”
