I had enrolled my son in a tutoring program in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx for the past 6 months but was not seeing any major improvement in his reading. I made an appointment to have my son screened at the Dicker Reading Center and was very impressed with what I saw during his first session. My son was absolutely focus and was not struggling to read the words. He was able to read 2 books fluently before the session ended. I especially liked how the method incorporates games as part of the teaching. I wish that I had know about the Dicker Reading method sooner. I am looking forward to seeing how my son progresses through The Dicker Reading Method. The 2017 - 2018 school year is going to be amazing. I highly recommend the Dicker Reading Method.

My son started Dicker reading last summer . He had just turned 6 years old . He has trouble focusing and I thought that the 2 hr sessions three times a week would help him. He responded very well with one on one tutoring. I feel the sessions helped to prepare him for first grade particularly with focusing. Since last summer , my son has matured but still has issues with focusing on material that he is not interested in doing. I put him back into reading this past summer. His ability to read has sky rocketed! Debbie has been very helpful in scheduling him with the right tutor who continues to motivate him. My son reads beyond his level with a clear voice and most importantly with confidence. I am happily continuing his lessons during this school year. My son also values the experience and wants to continue reading with his tutor!

My son did the program 5 years ago after entering 4th grade. He hated school and became extremely angry when he had to do his homework and many times refused to do it. This went on day after day, with the lack of work and his total frustration he was getting further behind at school. I knew about the Dicker Reading Method and decided to drive 30 minutes one way to get my son evaluated. After discussing this with Alvin, my son was evaluated to be reading at a 2nd-grade level. Also, when listening to my son read out loud, he was very focused in reading one word at a time and many words he did not know the meaning of the word. It became clear to me, reading at the speed and with limited understanding of the words, really limited comprehension. In addition, low comprehension also was impacting my son’s success in math and science. I committed to taking my son twice a week down to Alvin’s office as long as it was needed to improve my his comprehension. My son never liked going, but when he was there he did the work and we did the work at home. Over the next 6 months, my son’s reading level improved over 2 grades and his speed and comprehension significantly increased. In the second half of the year, my son’s issue with doing homework went away. He also began reading books, which he never did. Now, 5 years later, my son does well at school with very little effort. He is very efficient at his homework and self-generates getting it done. As a father, it’s the best thing that I could have done for my son, the impact is priceless. A number of words a student learns today in school, especially in the early grades, are very limited. The Dicker Reading Method is focused both reading and comprehension which requires introducing new words with their meaning throughout the program. I highly recommend the Dicker Reading Method for students that are challenged in reading and those children that do not have a problem but want to excel at school. It produces confidence and improves self-esteem, a key to success in school and beyond.

My son has 3 weeks taking classes with Dicker Reading Method. On those 3 weeks I already see a big difference on my son’s reading. My son is on 1st grade but his knowledge was UPK. 3 weeks and he already knows a lot of new words and read his first book not being scare on making a mistake. Now I know for sure I made the right decision.

My son started the Dicker program at a kindergarten reading level being in the 2nd grade. He couldn't retain what he was reading. When I tried the Dicker Program we noticed huge changes. In a 3 month period his reading has improved 10x's over. My son loves reads everything thing now especially comics.

This reading program is excellent! It is amazing how fast he is learning the words the method does work. If your child is struggling I suggest you come and check it out for yourself. The owner himself has a passion to help children be successful readers and that is why he started this business many years ago.My son is a new student and has caught on very quickly.

My daughter was one of the first students of the Dicker Reading Method. She did not learn to read in first grade and by second grade she was falling farther and farther behind and often came home crying. I tried to help her, but even though I had been a teacher myself, she was not improving enough. After working with Mr. Dicker, she not only caught up, but surpassed her grade level. In HS the NY Times published an interview with her after a play she wrote was produced by the Young Playwrights Association. She proceeded to graduate HS at the top of her class and went on to get her Bachelors and Masters Degrees. After taking time off from academia she will soon be going back for her Doctorate. She would never have achieved any of this without the Dicker Reading Method. My two great nieces and a nephew, who were all behind in reading ability, were also helped by the Dicker Reading Method. And most recently my 6th grade granddaughter, who was reading on grade level, is now reading four grades above that level thanks to this program. Mr. Dicker has a unique method of working with children. He firmly believes that children whose learning abilities are given negative labels internalize those descriptions and "perform down" to them. Instead he aims to give every child a positive experience of learning success. He refuses to label any child "learning disabled" because he knows that with the right attitude and instruction they will all learn to read. Based on my own experience with these five children who have been significantly helped by the Dicker Reading Method, I know that any child who is lucky enough to have access to this reading program will successfully learn to read - and even more important - to love reading and learning.
