Reading is heavily dependent on a brain’s ability to process small and quick changes in sound.
What happens when a child enters the school system with a weakness in processing these changes in sound? Or with a poor vocabulary? Or comes from an impoverished home? Schools start building on top of a weak foundation. Letter names, letter sounds, phonics, etc., are layered on top of a poor sound system and weak oral language, and it catches up.
Up to 40% of kids fail to learn to read effectively despite quality phonics and reading instruction.
Many of these kids need something that takes them back to the beginning, back to the foundational skills that allow them to develop literacy with ease. They need something unique, powerful, targeted and just for them that can address their memory, attention, processing and language skills simultaneously. With the right processing and language foundation, success in all areas is possible.
