Things People Say About Brain Training for Reading Help*:
→ Better Motivation and Interest in Reading
As one client said, “C. has gone from a struggling learner who had not been able to learn to read to a kid who looks forward to reading chapter books. He’s developed a much better attention span and perseverance that help him solve problems much more easily.”
A BIG thing that holds students back from enjoying reading is feeling like they can’t. When we improve their memory, attention span, and resilience, we teach them not only how to read but how to persevere when things feel hard.
→ Better Confidence
Lots of students feel defeated and run down by not being able to read as well as peers. When they feel like they’re slow or behind, it impacts their motivation and willingness to keep trying—as well as their overall confidence. Here are a couple client stories about how improving reading skills translated into better confidence for their children:
- “She was highly frustrated with herself and felt very defeated because she claimed she couldn’t read like they could and just felt slower than them. This program has drastically improved H.’s reading abilities and has helped her build confidence. We see that she isn’t struggling so much with memorizing spelling words and figuring out how to do work on her own. And it’s amazing to watch her want to read!”
- “The most important change has been his new found ability to read. This has drastically reduced his frustrations with life and school work.”
→ Better Comprehension & Faster Reading
There’s more to reading than just the mechanics of sounding out the words on the page. Many families seeking reading help see issues with their kids’ fluency or comprehension rather than just reading itself.
More practice and exposure to reading is often not enough to help unlock these skills for students. Both reading fluency and comprehension require a foundation of strong processing speed, visual processing, auditory processing, working memory, and other cognitive skills. Targeting THESE skills is an efficient, root-cause approach to building greater skills and confidence in all key areas of reading. Here are a few stories clients have shared with us:
- “D. was not able to read before coming to LearningRx. Now he can read, remember, and even share what he has read.”
- “He came to LearningRx a slow reader and slow to do his schoolwork and is leaving a proficient reader and is able to work much more quickly. My son was a slow reader and took a very long time to do his schoolwork. I was concerned, as he is beginning high school next year, that he wouldn’t be able to handle the workload and amount of required reading while continuing to compete in sports (which is very important to him). These difficulties are a thing of the past and I no longer have any of these concerns.”
→ Gaining Reading Levels Faster at School
“My son was reading at least 3 years behind before starting LearningRx and now he is reading at grade level!”
Gaining reading levels is a common improvement that clients report over the course of their time at LearningRx. Reading help that is targeted, intense, and progressive builds the skills kids need to have to learn more efficiently in any environment!
