Do you have a child with dyslexia who struggles with confidence and anxiety? If so, we’d love to meet him/her! We invite your child to explore their own Brilliant Strengths in The Nicholas Center at Hill-Murray on the afternoons of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in June and July for a course that aims to boost self-esteem and help students recognize their many strengths, all while developing a love of reading!
During this six-week course, 3rd - 6th-grade students will meet three fun characters who emphasize a few common strengths of people with dyslexia, including resilience, innovation, and connection. They will explore children’s books, focusing on those strengths, and hear inspirational stories about people with dyslexia from Brilliantly Dyslexic by Liz Trudeau. Students will highlight their personal strengths by creating their own Strengths Bubble Map and engage daily in hands-on activities that help develop executive functioning skills. These skills include the foundation of our ability to plan, organize, initiate, and follow through with tasks to achieve our goals, all while focusing on the innate strengths each student possesses.
This 6-week Brilliant Strengths course will run every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday beginning June 16th, 2026 through July 30th, 2026 from 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm. (Note: NO programming July 7th, 8th, or 9th)
Cost of Program: $250
** For those who have students also attending the Summer Reading Program in The Nicholas Center at Hill-Murray in the mornings, we will be sure the students are given an opportunity to have some supervised activity time in between lunch and the afternoon session of Brilliant Strengths.
