An Unconventional Approach to Reading 

When you approach teaching a new learner how to read, where do you usually start? 

Do you begin by reading simple books and working through each word?  

Or do you introduce each letter in the alphabet and the sound it makes? 

Both of these approaches seem sound, right? 

While approaches like the ones listed above may seem reasonable and familiar, we at LearningRx see it differently.

We ask the question: How can you successfully teach reading skills without first addressing the cognitive abilities to read?  

This question led us on a journey to realize that reading skills (and any other skill) need the right cognitive skills in place to succeed.  

The Science Behind LearningRx Reading Programs

Thus, we developed a reading program that uses brain training as its foundation to build the skills necessary for reading while also using a multi-sensory, structured literacy approach. 

Based on the Science of Reading AND the Cattell-Horn-Carroll Theory of Cognition, our reading intervention includes explicit and systematic instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This means we use proven reading research to inform our reading programs.  

Each study and theory have a proven track record of being the most efficient way to teach young readers how to read.  

Focusing on building solid cognitive skills first sets LearningRx apart from all other reading interventions. They are the foundation for all learning. We apply industry research with our cognitive skills training program to provide a revolutionary way to teach reading.

As far as we know, we are the ONLY reading program that trains phonemic awareness and phonics along with memory, processing speed, visual processing, attention, and reasoning skills. Our programs give students everything they need to read fluently and build their foundation of cognitive skills. 

Our approach may seem different, or even unconventional, from the rest… 

But in our eyes, it’s more conventional. We use the latest research with a combination of cognitive training studies to help students learn to read effectively.  

Reading struggles can be a thing of the past in as little as six months with a program through LearningRx.
