The Appalachian Reading Center, Inc. 

About Us:

The Appalachian Reading Center, Inc. was founded in 2004. We are a non-profit tutoring center, committed to helping struggling readers of every age and income level.

Learning disabilities affect one in five children in our area. These students often sit in classrooms, unable to keep up, often being held back in school, some never reaching their potential as individuals.

With our help, over time, they begin to shine like never before.

The Appalachian Reading Center, Inc. is not affiliated with any government programs or county schools. We exist as a non-profit agency designed to provide excellent remediation for students with language-based learning disabilities.

We began with a staff of two and 15 students and have grown to a staff of 13 with 52 students.
