Reading Remediation at Learning Solutions

Our intensive one-to-one reading intervention program has been used successfully to teach reading to children who have not succeeded in traditional reading programs. This program helps to close the gap between a student’s current performance and his or her academic potential.

Who does it benefit? This program is designed to improve the reading, spelling, and comprehension skills of:

• The child with a diagnosis of Dyslexia

• The child who has never grasped initial reading skills and has difficulty decoding words

• The child who reads the words accurately but does not understand what he reads

• The child who reads haltingly, lacking fluency and speed

• The older student who exhibits significant reading difficulties, despite years of instruction

Once your child’s specific reading needs have been identified through our assessment process, an individual plan that is tailored to those needs is designed. Your child’s individual plan for remediation is then addressed through a combination of specific reading intervention strategies designed to target weaknesses in phonemic awareness, word attack, spelling, sight words, reading fluency, reading accuracy, reading comprehension, oral comprehension, and written language skills.

Our reading intervention program uses several different components to remediate reading difficulties. All of our programs are research based, and your child’s plan may include strategies from a variety of nationally recognized reading programs such as See Time Fly, Barnell Loft Specific Skills series, Soar to Success, Vanilla Vocabulary, Great Leaps, Visual Tracking, Spelling Demons, and Sound Awareness.
