Mary did a dyslexia program for her son that improved his reading fluency, but not enough. She then invested $32,000 in another Dyslexia Program. When she came to us, the initial online Success Assessment revealed that her son was a visual learner with significant issues in attention and visual processing. Worse than that, while her son’s fluency was on grade level, his reading comprehension was three years below grade level.
Parents Thought a Dyslexia Program would improve reading fluency and comprehension
Mom found this article on Understood that explained the situation. Mom said it really surprised her when she reading this article on understanding dyslexia where it said:
“Dyslexia is mainly a problem with reading accurately and fluently. Kids with dyslexia may have trouble answering questions about something they’ve read. But when it’s read to them, they may have no difficulty at all.”
The father then asked, “Is your program another dyslexia program or does it focus on reading comprehension?”
We explained that the 3D Learner Program (R) has a fluency component, but our focus is on improving vocabulary, reading speed and comprehension and the love of reading.
The good news is that we were able to help their son improve his reading comprehension by 3 grade levels, to improve his reading speed by 58% and to have him enjoy reading.
The 3D Learner Program is not a traditional dyslexia program, but we do help the visual learner with dyslexia to make significant gains within months not years
