Our Story

Imagine Reading was born out of a deeply personal struggle. Founder Dan Fougere, a successful CEO and father, experienced firsthand the frustration of navigating the school system to get help for his children with dyslexia. The journey to diagnosis was long, and meaningful support from the schools came even later. Determined to turn his family’s challenges into a catalyst for change, Dan applied his business acumen to a new mission: creating opportunities for all children with dyslexia to succeed.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to ensuring that every child struggling with dyslexia in the public school system gets the support they need. Our goal is to transform schools into places where students with dyslexia are identified early, supported effectively, and empowered to thrive academically and beyond.
