Johnny’s Reading Skills and IQ Soared!

Johnny’s standardized tests showed that Johnny excelled in math, but his reading and writing skills were not meeting standards.  His mom, Andrea, was looking for a reading tutor, but friends recommended a different approach – LearningRx training.

Johnny’s initial cognitive skills assessment at LearningRx showed why there was such a gap between his math and reading skills.  Johnny’s reasoning and visual processing skills were strong – key cognitive skills for math – but his long-term memory and auditory processing skills were weak.   These are key skills for word recognition (memory) and decoding words (auditory processing) and the root cause as to why Johnny struggled with reading and writing. Johnny completed his LearningRx training, and his standardized test scores skyrocketed to where Johnny had the highest IQ in his class and reading and writing were no longer a challenge or below standards.

If you are looking for reading help or a reading tutor, consider LearningRx.  Our focus is not simply more reading or focusing on the symptom, our initial assessment will identify the root cause as to why your child needs reading help. LearningRx training then provides 1-on-1, individualized cognitive skills training to strengthen reading skills and improve fluency, spelling, comprehension and writing.   

Our reading intervention is a structured reading program aligned with the Science of Reading delivered though our cognitive training approach to remediating cognitive skill deficits.  It’s a unique combination that we have not seen anywhere else.  Whether your child has a general struggle with reading or is diagnosed with dyslexia, we can help.  

The life-changing results of this approach are demonstrating in recent peer-reviewed research published in the journal Psychology Research and Behavior Management. 

In this research study with more than 3,500 struggling readers, researchers found statistically significant changes in both reading skills and cognitive skills after just 24 weeks of training at LearningRx:

• The average gain in reading skills was 4.1 years in just 24 weeks.
• The average gain in phonological awareness was almost 6 years in just 24 weeks.
• The average gain in phonetic coding was 5.5 years in just 24 weeks.
• The average gain in Word Attack was 2.9 years in just 24 weeks.
• Parents also reported in improvements in cognition, academic performance, and psychosocial skills.
