NORTH SALT LAKE — Last month was a focus on dyslexia, and the Reading Horizons center in North Salt Lake focused on free resources.

Reading Horizons has put together a website for those free resources, citing that 10 percent of the U.S. population struggles with dyslexia. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, that number will increase by 5 percent over the next few years.

At www.ReadingHorzonsAtHome.com, an assessment is available to examine symptoms of dyslexia. The site also focuses on myths about the learning disability. However, Reading Horizons also suggests seeking consultation with a specialist to talk about programs and outcomes.

Once signs and symptoms are uncovered, those who suffer from dyslexia can begin learning about how to maneuver with it. Reading Horizons also publishes articles and resources on the site, offering further testing and learning strategies.
