Welcome to The Thinking Center!

.Reading is so much more than just reading a sound or knowing a letter name - it is a process that requires specific training.  Learning how to read & reading to learn at The Thinking Center are very special. Our goal is to provide short-term reading interventions and educational solutions for long-term outcomes for learners so gaps are narrowed or closed A child or teen doesn't want to fail, so watch for behaviors well before failure happens.
