We were honored to sit down with Dr. David Hurford, who has researched dyslexia and the science of reading for his entire career, to learn about his research, his books, and his work with dyslexic children.

David P. Hurford, Ph.D. is the executive director of the Center for Reading and is the founder and manager of the Center for the Assessment and Remediation of Reading Difficulties (CARRD, Inc.) a nonprofit dedicated to assisting individuals with dyslexia to become competent readers. He has been publishing on the identification and remediation of reading difficulties and related topics since the late 1980s. He has authored reading curricula designed to prevent reading difficulties in kindergarten (Secret Codes) and first grade (Advanced Codes). The Center for Reading and CARRD, Inc. use his identification and remediation strategies to provide high- quality and accurate assessments and successful interventions for children and adults who have dyslexia and reading difficulties. He contributed to the writing of the Kansas Blueprint on Literacy (SB 438) which was passed into law last April. He serves on the Literacy Advisory Committee that was formed from that legislation. Hurford’s interests include dyslexia, reading difficulties, attentional difficulties including ADHD, educational research, statistics, and special education law.
