Reading Programs – A Wide Variety of Methods
Reading programs are numerous and diverse. There are speed reading courses, computer-assisted reading systems, and memory reading plans. There are phonics games, whole word reading methods, and traditional classroom and tutor-based reading curricula. In a nutshell, most reading programs presume that students already have basic cognitive skills in place to process sounds and associate them correctly with letters and concepts. This presumption continues to be a source of heartache for teachers, parents, and students searching for reading help.
Reading Programs – One Approach That Really Works
Many reading programs can produce some level of reading progress for students that possess underlying cognitive skills, but for those with weaker foundations, the wide variety of reading programs can become a trap. Parents and schools spend thousands of dollars and put themselves and their children through years of frustration and failure trying one reading program after another, when in fact, these particular programs had no chance of significantly helping their child from the start. Here’s why.
Fluent reading is the byproduct of strong cognitive skills such as auditory processing. To be successful, reading programs must start at this foundational level, build stronger cognitive skills, and then put these strengthened abilities to proper use. The mainstream research on reading programs and reading success now agrees:

A solid foundation in cognitive skills is the most important component missing in most struggling readers.
Reading Programs – Cognitive Skills Training at LearningRx
At LearningRx, our reading programs provide effective solutions to correct the real causes underlying reading struggles. We start with cognitive skills testing to identify the foundational weaknesses, and then we structure an effective, one-on-one training strategy to build those cognitive skills necessary for a lifetime of reading success.
After decades of clinical and scientific research, LearningRx has developed a proprietary, customized training program that builds auditory processing, visual processing, attention skills, memory skills, processing speed, logic and reasoning, and comprehension. We don’t offer traditional reading instruction and remedial tutoring. Rather, like successful athletes or musicians, we take your student through a powerful training program that shows significant results within weeks. Remarkably, LearningRx reading programs have averaged 4.96 years of reading improvement over a 24-week training period.
