Brain Based Reading
Becoming a reader involves the development of several important skills including learning to identify words in their printed form and to comprehend written material. The challenge for beginning readers is to learn to identify printed words accurately and fluently.
Without good word identification skills, comprehending even the simplest text is very difficult.

Brain based reading and learning methods help connect neuroscience
to the classroom. We believe in reading research, that these underlying processes are the “keys" to learning. With these” keys,” students not only become independent readers, writers and spellers; they become independent learners for life! Brain based reading is an approach that addresses and changes the underlying weakness or weaknesses a student has. Children learn to overcome the weakness rather than just learn how to cope with it. Brain based learning encourages students to enjoy the learning process and to have fun while analyzing and using tools and strategies to “break the code” of the English language.
Brain based reading supports struggling readers learning to read in English. Our goal is to diagnostically identify each child’s struggle in language and to prescribe the appropriate strategy of instruction that will ensure a successful experience in understanding how to read. Lessons target and reinforce specific skills and sub-processors of reading.
