AVKO Educational Research Foundation Charity Profile

AVKO is a non-profit, 501(C)3 membership organization that focuses on the development and production of materials and especially techniques to teach reading and spelling, handwriting (manuscript and cursive) and keyboarding.

The AVKO Educational Research Foundation, founded in 1974, has as its mission the following:

To determine what makes the learning of reading and spelling so difficult for some and so easy for others.

To determine what it is about our language that good readers learn without being taught that poor readers don't.

To determine whether or not that which poor readers don't learn is ever systematically taught and if it isn't, if it can be.

To devise techniques and materials to enable teachers (or parents) to systematically teach poor readers and poor spellers that which schools presently are not teaching.

To widely disseminate its discoveries of techniques and materials that enable dyslexics to learn to read and to spell.

AVKO Educational Research Foundation Volunteer Information

AVKO is constantly in need of volunteers to help with its goals of eradicating the problems associated with illiteracy and dyslexia. Volunteering is not only rewarding to the volunteer and to the Foundation and those we serve; volunteer hours can be used for community service hours, experience working in a non-profit, networking, references and letters of recommendation, etc. AVKO not only needs people who can work in our reading clinic in Birch Run, MI, but we also can use the help of people from their own communities.
