"Our students who used the RFB&D program did better on worksheets and tests due to increased comprehension. One student even made the Honor Role for the first time!"

A teacher at Cabell Midland High School in Ona, West Virginia


“There have been close relatives who have become blind, including my mother, and I know how much recorded books have meant to them. I enjoy helping students get through their work more easily, and learn a lot from dipping into their texts!”

Mary Anne Hill, Oak Ridge, Tennessee



"Because of the generosity of RFB&D, one of my students with a learning disability received a membership and machine in February. Three months later she scored a perfect score on the end-of-year standardized test. The difference was the RFB&D program; the books and the machine. The result is that this struggling student can now do her homework on her own."

Excerpt from a letter from Mel Levine, MD
Director of Clinic for Development and Learning
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

"I have known many children who have improved significantly through the use of Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic. The tapes have been enormously helpful in increasing reading comprehension, reading accuracy and reading rate. More importantly, they have turned many a non-reader into an enthusiastic reader. This form of intervention is certainly important for kids who have never found reading rewarding."


Yours sincerely,

"For many students, this is the first time they have been able to keep up with their classes and/or peers and their self-confidence, as well as their grades, is soaring. It is also a self-esteem booster to be able to use technology (a CD player) that isn't foreign, but well known, to their peers. I see some of my students who did not like to read, or who really struggled to read, acquire a new found love of books. It is wonderful to see them get lost in a book for the first time! Many thanks to RFB&D."
