👂 It’s not just about hearing sounds — it’s about making them.

When a child says “BA” instead of “ball,” shouting louder doesn’t fix it.
💬 What works?
Getting face-to-face and showing how your mouth moves to make the sound.

✨ From just 8 months old, babies start wiring together what they see, hear, and feel — the foundation for speech and reading.

That’s the power of the speech-to-print approach used in
NOW! Foundations for Speech, Language, Reading & Spelling® 💪

This isn’t memorization — it’s brain-building.
It trains the 5 parts of speech processing before letters are introduced.

💡 The result?
Confident readers. Clearer speech. Real progress.

Too many middle schoolers are struggling to read and it’s not their fault. A new report shows just how big the gap has grown, but also reminds us: with the right instruction, it’s never too late. 📚💪 Read more about what’s happening and how we can help.

“The highlight of the report is that learning to read is an ongoing journey that does not end in elementary school,” Daughtery says. “Middle school students are still learning to read, with a focus on more complex text, decoding words with more than two syllables, building knowledge and vocabulary, and reading fluently.”

If you know someone that is struggling to decode or comprehend, contact NOW! Programs for more information.

A recent report from NWEA found that middle schoolers are showing a noticeable decline in reading abilities. Here, we’ll unpack what the researchers uncovered, what factors are influencing middle school literacy problems, and how parents can help kids develop and hone their reading skills.

❓Why Is My Bright Child Still Struggling to Learn? One Family’s Autism Breakthrough at The Morris Center.
At The Morris Center, we don’t just diagnose—we dig deeper to understand what’s getting in the way.

Through comprehensive testing, we uncover the root causes of learning and developmental challenges. Then, we build and implement a personalized Empowerment Plan to strengthen the brain-based skills your child needs to thrive.

That’s exactly what helped Abid.

💡 Abid began reading at just 18 months—but by age 2, he had stopped responding to his name or answering questions. Diagnosed with Level 2 Autism at age 3, he began therapy: ABA, speech, and OT.

While he made some progress, things stalled when his school lowered expectations and placed him on a less challenging academic path.

His parents believed he was capable of more—and they were right.
Their search led them to The Morris Center in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Today, Abid is:
✔️ Speaking more—without being prompted
✔️ Calmer and more self-aware
✔️ Gaining confidence and skills
