Bloom Literacy Solutions

Until Everyone Can Read.
On National Nonprofit Day, we’re celebrating the many ways IDA–Rocky Mountain Branch works to make that vision a reality.

💜 We educate teachers and families.
💜 We advocate for individuals with dyslexia.
💜 We connect families, educators, and professionals.
💜 We equip our communities with trusted resources and research.
💜 We provide scholarships that make learning more accessible.
💜 We build awareness and understanding of dyslexia.
💜 And we bring people together around one shared belief:

Every person deserves the opportunity to become a reader.

To our volunteers, members, donors, educators, families, and advocates, thank you for helping us turn our mission into action, one reader and one community at a time.

Today, we’re asking our community to help us carry that mission even further.

If you know or love someone with dyslexia, consider donating just $5 today. Your $5, combined with the support of others in our community, helps us educate, advocate, build awareness, and expand our reach.

Episode 11: The Outlier

There's a school district in eastern Ohio where virtually all the students become good readers by the time they finish third grade. Many of the wealthiest places in the country can't even say that. And Steubenville is a Rust Belt town where the state considers almost all the students "economically disadvantaged." How did they do it?

This is the first of three new episodes. Listen to the podcast at soldastory.org.
