Our Commitment to Literacy
The Center for Reading and Dyslexia (CRD) is dedicated to enhancing literacy in The Bahamas and the Caribbean. We focus on literacy consulting, teacher professional development, and specialized intervention for students. Through partnerships and evidence-based strategies, we empower educators and help students succeed in reading.
Every Reader Deserves the Opportunity to Succeed
Reading difficulties can affect far more than academic achievement. They can shape a child’s confidence, a family’s hopes, and a teacher’s ability to reach every learner. At CRD, we believe that with knowledgeable educators, evidence-based instruction, and the right support, struggling readers can make meaningful progress.
Students & Families
Personalized assessment and evidence-based reading intervention to help struggling readers build skills, confidence, and independence.
Educators
Practical, research-aligned professional development and coaching that equips educators to strengthen literacy instruction and reach every learner.
Schools & Systems
Strategic literacy consulting and partnership to help schools build strong, sustainable systems for reading success.
Why Reading Success Matters
Reading changes more than academic outcomes—it changes possibilities. When children struggle to read, the effects can reach across subjects, confidence, motivation, and future learning. But reading difficulty does not have to determine a child's future. With knowledgeable educators, effective instruction, early identification, and appropriate intervention, we can change the trajectory.
How We Can Help

The first step toward understanding your child's literacy needs and identifying the right support.
