Pittston Area plans family reading event

First Posted: 8/12/2014 Members of the Greater Scranton Penn State Chapter recently visited Allied Services&#8217; dePaul School for Dyslexia in Scranton. The group presented the school with a check for $1,000 toward scholarships for children with dyslexia or learning disabilities.
The donation was made possible through the success of the Greater Scranton Penn State Chapter&#8217;s 36th annual dinner, held at Fiorelli&#8217;s in Peckville on May 14.
The dePaul School for Dyslexia serves students from 19 school districts age 7 to 14, offering a highly structured educational setting with small group instruction in linguistics, math, oral reading, language arts and auditory. The school&#8217;s programs are consistent with Allied Services&#8217; commitment to help children overcome learning disabilities so they can return to conventional classrooms equipped with the academic skills and confidence they need to succeed.
