Do You Know Why Your Child is Struggling to Read?

To Improve Your Child’s Reading Skills, Start by Knowing Why 

Did you know that most reading disabilities are linked to a single weak cognitive skill?

Because reading uses a complex system of cognitive processing, if even one part of that system isn’t working well, the entire process suffers. In fact, a single cognitive skill weakness has been linked to 88% of all reading disabilities.

The cognitive skill that is so foundational for successful reading is called auditory processing and, fortunately for struggling readers, it’s one of the core skills that LearningRx programs target and strengthen.  

To Improve Your Child’s Reading Skills, Don’t “Tutor” the Symptoms; Target the Problem 

The fact that our programs strengthen auditory processing (and other critical cognitive skills) is the reason our clients have experienced such measurable (and often dramatic!) reading gains.

For example, among 6,000 LearningRx clients seen in more than 80 centers across the nation, our students gained an average of 3.1 years in reading skills after just 72 hours of one-on-one brain training (done over about six months). Compare that to tutoring and you’ll see that, dollar for dollar,

LearningRx brain training is actually seven times more effective than reading tutoring programs. 

That’s because tutoring tries to improve reading skills without addressing the cognitive deficit at the root of the problem. LearningRx targets the problems and strengthens weak skills  so learning to read is easier than before.

To Improve Reading Skills, Act Now 

Reading is foundational for success in almost any class, endeavor, or career. If your child is struggling, there’s no better time than now to take action. You can find out this week if cognitive weaknesses are making reading harder than it needs to be. And if cognitive weaknesses are at the root of the problem, we can help. With weak skills strengthened, your child will have the cognitive tools necessary for reading gains that will last.
