Sven is Reading!

Less than a year ago twelve year old Sven was unable to read. Sven is autistic. He could not read his name or simple words such as: "it," "see," or "me." His teachers stated it was unlikely Sven would ever be able to read. His grandmother, Catherine, read an article about the innovative, and at the time, untested Nardagani Reading Program in a local paper. She contacted us saying "it would be a miracle" if we could teach Sven to read.

Most challenged readers can learn to read in 4 lessons. Due to his unique learning challenges, it has taken Sven longer, but he is now reading 4th grade level books! He now reads independently for pleasure and is always looking for reading opportunities on cereal boxes, road signs and magazines. He is very proud of his new skill and is now the best reader in his class.
