Do you know someone who has trouble reading and could benefit from a more personalized approach?
Aspire is now enrolling for its fall session of adult reading classes, which will start in September.
For many adults, reading struggles began in early childhood and went undiagnosed or unsupported in traditional classrooms, resulting in long-term literacy difficulties. Many of our students come to Aspire unable to read or recognize the sounds letters make, placing them at a pre-K to first-grade reading level.
Our Sequential English Education (SEE) program is specifically designed for these adults (18+) who have visual and/or auditory processing differences, such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder, that make traditional literacy instruction more challenging.
SEE is an English language literacy series that uses a structural-linguistic approach tailored to the way each adult learns most effectively. In small, supportive group settings, trained Aspire volunteer instructors guide students through foundational language skills using multi-sensory instruction. Students engage with all aspects of learning, including hearing, seeing, speaking, and writing, with frequent repetition to build a true comprehension of the English alphabet and core reading concepts.
We have seen students in this program make remarkable progress, not only improving their reading skills but also gaining the confidence to take on new goals, from filling out forms to writing birthday cards for loved ones.
If you know someone who may benefit from this kind of support, encourage them to call us at 214.824.2000 or you may fill out a form on their behalf at
