The Manitoba's Provincial Grade 3 reading assessment results for English, French Immersion and Francais program indicates that between 20% - 30% of the students have "not met" minimum reading level expectations. The number of Manitoba students is approximately 208,000 of which 20% (to be conservative) are displaying below reading level. This equates to approximately 41,600 students! Manitoba is not alone, in Ontario more than 40,000 children are waiting for an assessment out of 250,000 who struggle with Dyslexia. Tragically, assessment and intervention often comes too late.
