Why You Should Consider Enrolling Your Child
Reading is the most important skill a person has to learn. It lays the foundation for all other academic skills and a lack of
competency in reading greatly inhibits success in life. Neuroscientists tell us that reading is one of the most difficult skills
we learn in a lifetime. This is because reading requires an extraordinarily high level of cognitive functioning. Some
children and adults have difficulty learning to read effectively because this type of cognitive functioning is not equally
distributed among the population.
Most programs do not target the underlying causes of reading difficulties. There are many excellent school and private
tutoring programs available for students who are cognitively able to accept the instruction and intervention being offered.
But most struggling readers do not have the foundational neural connections and prerequisite language skills to become
effective readers. Therefore, children may learn to compensate for poor language and reading development, but the
problem doesn't go away.
Students who attend The Reading Lab are given the advantage of becoming successful and confident readers and
learners. They are also developing increased working memory, attention, auditory and cognitive processing, and
sequencing skills - those areas of the brain that are critical to the learning process and are essential to all curricular
areas. Students receive individualized foundational language and reading training in a small group setting. Each student
receives one-on-one attention from a highly trained specialist - personally trained by the neuroscientists who developed
the programs being used at the clinic - whether they train at the Lab or remotely off-site at home.
There's no greater fulfillment for parents than knowing we've helped our children reach their academic potential and in
watching their self-esteem go from struggling or failure to happy, confident, successful learners. We watch this miracle
happen at The Reading Lab almost every day.
