Payne Education Center
 |
Another scholarship program which may have an
even more profound effect on the future is in conjunction with the
Payne Education Foundation. The Payne Foundation is a 501- ( c ) - 3
organization which operates the Payne Education Center. The Center
teaches public school reading teachers techniques for helping
dyslexic children learn to read. Scientists now know that dyslexia
is a birth condition. |
But teaching techniques discovered at the
Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas, are highly successful
in letting these children learn to read effectively and easily. We
provide teaching materials to public school teachers who are taking
the training at the Payne Center. Those teachers will help thousands
of children learn to read. It’s one of the most important things we
do.
The Foundation has supported projects such
as:
Reading Readiness Kits:
|
 |
Discovery Spelling:
|
|
Corporate Spelling Bee:
|
Developing the skills in children they will need prior to
the reading process.
|
Providing teachers with the tools to help students learn to
spell. |
Raising
funds for training teachers to teach the special reading
techniques. |
