Centre for Diverse Learners

The Reading Rocks program is the Centre for Diverse Learners' (CDL) literacy intervention program for children and youth with reading difficulties. This literacy program is designed to motivate and help children between the ages of 6-12 years gain confidence and improve as readers. During the 8-week program, each child works one-on-one or in small groups with a tutor two nights a week for one hour either in-person or online via Microsoft Teams. The tutor selects and implements appropriate activities and games that build each child's skills in phonics/phonemic awareness, sight word vocabulary, and fluency according to their learning profile. There are a limited number of in-person spots available.  Interested families should apply directly to CDL. 

Please note the Centre for Diverse Learners was formerly known as the Learning Disabilities Association of Halton-Hamilton.​
