Dyslexia

 

Is your child struggling with reading? Many children with dyslexic tendencies have weak foundational reading skills, (phonemic awareness/phonics/decoding/comprehension) which is the basis  for all learning.

​

Dyslexia is not a illness, condition or disease. It is an educational, not a medical diagnosis that defines an unexpected difficulty with reading (Shaywitz). Even though a common dyslexia trait is visual — switching of letters — around 95% of dyslexia is caused by language-related problems — listening and/or processing.

 

This dyslexia research was recently posted to one of the best reading resource sites, Reading Rockets. In this study, Fast ForWord helped the participants become better readers after just eight weeks. The research shows pre- and post- improvement on fMRI studies after Fast ForWord® intervention, which is designed to help children with dyslexia and struggling readers understand rapidly changing sounds that are the  building blocks of language. That’s really powerful research!

 

Dyslexia and reading struggles have a more far-reaching effect than many people realise. Fast ForWord is designed to help children with dyslexia and struggling readers understand rapidly changing sounds that are the building blocks of language. What makes it so effective for dyslexia is that it uses intensive, adaptive exercises to train and improve the most foundational processing weaknesses that are at the root of dyslexia.
