Catch Them Early: Empower Success Through Early Intervention
If your child is struggling, it’s helpful to catch them early and empower success through early intervention. Parents have the opportunity to empower success through early intervention. Sully’s sister, Lily, attended LearningRx due to her struggles with reading and attention issues. Given the success they saw with Lily, when her little brother, Sully, started to struggle, they did not wait to get help.
Sully was in kindergarten and was having difficulties retaining information – the alphabet, sounds related to each letter, etc. – and his assessment verified that the root cause of his difficulties was due to lower long-term memory skills. This validated what his mom, Kelly, was seeing in Sully and they wanted to address the root cause. Kelly is an 8th grade language arts teacher and understands how critical strong reading is to a child’s academic success.
The most common strategies when students struggle with reading is tutoring or school interventions. While it can be good to take advantage of these options, they are typically not addressing the root cause.
The ReadRx program at LearningRx is unique as we follow the Science of Reading guidelines but ensure that a student’s core cognitive skills – like memory – are strong. This is critical as, unless cognitive skills are strong, students usually continue to struggle with reading even if they are following another program that follows the Science of Reading methodology. For Sully, his memory weakness meant that, as a kindergartener, he could not retain core information like letters and letter sounds. If his memory weakness was not addressed, as he entered the more difficult grade levels, he would have experienced difficulties memorizing sight words and retaining all the odd English exceptions (non-phonetic words). His memory weakness would have also impacted his reading comprehension and other subjects like math (math facts, retaining formulas and steps), test taking and overall retention of academic subject matter.
Sully’s LearningRx training helped him avoid these struggles! His mom shared, “Everyone at LearningRx is positive and encouraging. They believe in your child, and they know exactly what to do to help your child become stronger! In addition to the academic improvement we have seen in two our children, they also gained a tremendous amount of self-confidence through the connection with their trainers. Thank you so much for changing our kids’ lives! Both of our children did a 180 in the classroom. From reading to writing to memory to math skills to confidence, everything improved! LearningRx changed the trajectory of our kids’ lives!”
If you are concerned about your child’s progress, it is wise to seek help right away. At LearningRx, we offer an amazing opportunity to identify if there are cognitive weaknesses driving your child’s difficulty or if it is something they are likely to “grow out of”.
