One-on-One Training to Build Reading Skills

Strong reading skills depend on a number of distinct skills working at the same time. LearningRx has helped readers in Toddville strengthen the skills needed to:

Quickly recognize words in written text
Sound out unfamiliar words based on spelling
Process complex sentences and language
Create mental images while reading
Retain important information

At LearningRx, our training has helped each reader build these foundational skills they need for a lifetime of reading.

Brain Training or Reading Tutoring?

While tutoring can help some students, it might not be the best fit for you or your child. Reading tutoring tends to focus on practicing reading and memorizing spelling, which requires strong underlying cognitive skills. If these underlying skills haven’t been developed, a reading tutor might not be the right choice.

LearningRx offers a way to build the underlying skills that are at the root of most reading struggles. Rather than simply repeating content and memorizing words, LearningRx’s brain training gives readers the skills they need to become more intuitive, independent, and confident readers.

Hear from our Students and Families

Kenlee was really struggling as a student going into the 2nd grade. She was homeschooled and is going back to public school. She was reading on a kinder level and now, within 6 months, she is on grade level. Her confidence is also great!

Ms Sillivan (Texarkana, TX)

Now I can finally read and sound out words! I can now read because of Mrs. Donesa and the LearningRx program! Before LearningRx, I thought I was just dumb! Some kids made fun of me because I could not read our sound out words. I did not like myself very much. Now I do! I can now participate in classes at school and church and not be embarrassed or afraid to read out loud or give answers like the other students. I am finally making decent grades! Now my mom cries when I read to her because I can read!

Tanner (Shongaloo, LA)

Itty is way more confident in her abilities as a student. She can finally read fluently and is able to decipher written language. She has said that school feels easier in general and makes more sense.

Kim (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

They were thorough and our child’s improvement speaks for itself. His confidence in reading in front of his class, his memory and problem-solving skills improved.

Amanda (Raleigh, NC)

His ability to listen and follow through the first time has improved. He doesn’t need to study as long for tests and quizzes. His focus is better. His reading and comprehension have improved.

Julie (Chattanooga, TN)

Reading comprehension has improved. Math skills have improved.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

My daughter is excelling for the first time in her life. My daughter was not able to complete tasks, read, or spell. The people here at LearningRx have helped me to help her to be successful!

Tiffany (Huntsville, TX)

Improvements in ability and willingness to work by himself. More fluid reading. More confidence in schoolwork.

Melissa (Glendale, AZ)

Our daughter started high school with little to no academic confidence. Day 1 she felt defeated, lost and unhappy. My husband and I made the right decision when we signed her up for LearningRx! We quickly figured out what was lacking in her learning environment; and we transferred her to a new school. She diligently worked 3 sessions a week with her LearningRx coach all while making time to catch up on new curriculum. To our amazement, her auditory processing accelerated; she picked up a new book to read on her own and often shared with us about her day!

Aimée (San Antonio NE, TX)

The program trainers worked hard to challenge Deacon in such a way to have optimal growth in reading and comprehension. The center and brain training activities were engaging and kept Deacon in a place of wanting to continue with things that are very hard for him. He was cared for and he could tell he was liked and being championed each time he had a session. Deacon now has more confidence in reading.

Chuck (NWA South, AR)

The gains my son made in this program have truly improved his school career. My son has more confidence in school and in his work, he’s reading faster, and more willing to read at home.

Kathleen (River Valley, AR)

My son started at LearningRx struggling with letter recognition and letter sounds. After just 30 sessions, he is reading and testing above average for his age and grade. The trainers genuinely care, and Gina really helped us understand where our son was struggling, and where improvement was needed. Seeing our son build his confidence and now thriving academically has been such a blessing. 100% recommend LearningRx.

Jennifer (San Antonio NE, TX)

We had our 11th grade son go to LearningRx because he was struggling with reading comprehension and listening comprehension. We were a bit worried that it would be too elementary as the other programs we looked into were. We were pleasantly surprised by the result and highly recommend it to anyone! Our son was able to make gains in all areas as well as gain much needed confidence to tackle any future challenge that comes his way!

Kellie (Woodbury, MN)

Kenlee was really struggling as a student going into the 2nd grade. She had only been homeschooled. No matter what skills I tried, she was only reading on a kindergarten level and now within 6 months she is on grade level. Her confidence has grown, she is more focused during task, and her behavior is better.

Kandi (Texarkana, TX)

My son used to hate reading and now he willingly does it in his free time. He’s also slowed down and is more able to focus on tasks in front of him.

Reed (Appleton, WI)

Wyatt has gained confidence in both his reading and math skills!

Emily (Rogers, MN)

My son’s reading and comprehension improved so much along with it his confidence.

Juan (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Our son was barely reading in 4th grade and now he is reading confidently and enjoying it. He volunteers to read regularly and there has been a huge change in his attitude as well because he is confident in his reading! If you are on the fence just do it! It’s a lot but so worth it!

Brenda (Charlottesville, VA)

Through his hard work and Donesa and her team’s dedication, his reading improved TREMENDOUSLY! I cannot thank them enough for giving my son his confidence back and the security to know that he can accomplish anything.

Shona (Shreveport, LA)

Tatum is so much more willing to try hard things, his reading has improved tremendously. We recently had a parent/teacher conference, and his teacher had such great things to say about him. He is being a leader in his classroom (which is new for him), he is working hard, and his math and reading skills are right where they should be.

Sara (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx has been a benefit to our son in many ways. It’s helped him learn to read and to be able to learn better all around. His teacher Allie was very committed and put a lot of effort into teaching him. She was firm but did her best to make it fun for him.

Allison (Richmond, Hill, ON)

My son has progressed in his reading & math skills tremendously.

Ms Jackson (Texarkana, TX)

The improvements in my child’s reading skills and confidence that she has gained, a result of the LearningRx training. My child has gained so much confidence in her reading skills. She is no longer scared to pronounce words or make a mistake. She jumps right into each assignment without hesitating.

Mrs. Davis (Texarkana, TX)

The speed at which Colt was able to improve his reading, to the point of not needing much help from us was remarkable.

Andria (Rogers, MN)

LearningRx is an incredible learning facility! When I first enrolled my niece, she struggled with reading and comprehension. It was incredibly hard to keep her focused. We feared that she may have to repeat 2nd grade but after the patience and guidance of her trainer, Mr. Phil, she ended the school year with Honor Roll and a ticket to 3rd grade! Donesa and her staff are amazing.

Hanna (Shreveport, LA)

My daughter has more fluency and confidence now when she reads, but most of all, she is reading! She totes several books in her bookbag to and from school to read during down-time at school and at home. Reading is no longer seen as a chore and there is no longer the same struggle we had before starting this program.

Aaron (Staunton-Harrisonburg VA)

Ryleigh is more confident in reading. She has a better understanding of word meanings and can work at a much quicker speed. She is able to transition between tasks much quicker.

Susan (Appleton WI)

LearningRx in Raleigh, NC has been the best decision we have made for our daughter. Her reading and cognitive skills exceeded what the program provided, and she was able to increase her reading fluency from an age equivalency of 6.8 to age 9.6 in less than a year. This is an amazing achievement. We are so proud of her and couldn’t be more pleased with Bethany. Bethany’s persistence and dedication to training with our daughter is unforgettable and priceless.

Brandy (Raleigh, NC)

The staff are incredible. Didi has improved in her basic reading and problem-solving skills as well as her ability to focus. We appreciate all the center has done to help our girl succeed.

Jamie (Franklin, TN)

Great improvement in reading skills, friendly staff. Isla’s reading skills improved drastically because of the LearningRx program. She is more confident, doing better in school and enjoys reading more now. We have already recommended the program to friends.

Jordan (Reston, VA)

My son started Learning RX when he was 18. He knew he wasn’t ready to start college as having dyslexia and other learning challenges made processing large amounts of information very taxing. ..Ashley was incredibly supportive and encouraging. She was able to individualize the program to meet his specific needs. She went above and beyond our expectations!…It has been incredible to see him be able to focus and read for long periods of time and to really thrive.

Karen (Cary, NC)

Our son’s reading ability and comprehension has increased significantly after completing this program. I don’t know of anything else out there like it. It is a very different approach from traditional tutoring and very effective. I highly recommend them.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

My great grandson was having so much difficulty in school with his reading and they had helped him so much before with all his skills, I knew this would be the way to go.

Ms Whitmer (Texarkana, TX)

We love LearningRx, everyone was so wonderful and nice and helped my son so much to achieve greater goals for his future and now. John did an awesome job with my son. He was so wonderful and help motivate him and boost his confidence 100% and now he is doing so much better at reading.

Dezaray (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

My daughter and son in-law needed to find a way to get their daughter some help with reading. They spoke with a few friends that had children that attended LearningRx with great success. After the evaluation she started and immediately embraced the learning process. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring her to the classes when I can. I am very impressed with her progress in such a short time. Her goal is to be able to read a chapter book like her siblings mine is just to see her read without out her being embarrassed.

Corky (Shoreview, MN)

He really connected with the tutors here works with Natalie and Illeana, and the sessions quickly became part of his routine without feeling overwhelming. The results speak for themselves. His reading skills have significantly improved from where he started, and we’ve seen his confidence grow along with his abilities.

Garrio (Brooklyn Park, MN)

Heather (Shreveport, LA)

We have seen how much Lexi has improved in her reading and overall interest in learning. It has given her confidence in school overall.

Kathy (Coon Rapids, MN)

LearningRx in Shoreview is absolutely incredible. We are amazed at the progress our 8-year-old grandson has made since September. Focus, processing, memory functions and reading fluency have all been positively impacted. The staff is friendly and well trained. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

Jeanne (Shoreview, MN)

My son has benefitted greatly from being at Learning RX! I strongly encourage anyone on the fence to at least try it! We have been seen drastic improvements in confidence, reading, math, attention span, willingness, engagement, and more!

Brooke (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Overall, his reading ability improved, and his confidence level has greatly improved! I thought his trainer did an exceptional job with him and he really liked working with her! Overall, I am happy with his growth and look forward to him applying what he learned.

Jay (Maple Grove, MN)

Our daughter has improved in reading, which is making school and homework easier. She is more confident, so her behavior is better.

Tifani (Appleton, WI)

I was one overwhelmed parent after being told my daughter was suspected as having dyslexia by her school, which followed up with “we won’t be able to get her where she needs to be in reading”, essentially. I had seen the LearningRx sign before, so that was my first call. I had a lot of questions! The front desk (Jordan) was so very helpful at giving me as much information as she could before meeting us. We have now finished our brain training plan and are so happy with the results!

CH (Chattanooga, TN)

We found LearningRx when we were seeking help for our 10 year old son, Gabe. Every year at school, we were told that his reading is below grade level. This was exhibited at home with nightly struggles to complete homework, usually entailing two hours of arguing, tears and frustration to complete 15 minutes of homework. Almost immediately, Gabe was reading things at random out loud to us. When school started in the fall, he started doing his homework by himself, without the usual coaxing and arguing.

Kris (Shreveport, LA)

Our son’s trainer worked really hard to improve his reading and processing skills. Although his behavior was challenging at times, his trainer persevered. We are grateful for all of the one-on-one attention.

Alison (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

The training at LearningRx for my daughter helped on her attention and memory resulting in big improvement of the understanding and reading comprehension. The directors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptive with well management skills.

Liping (Richmond Hill, ON)

LearningRx has been so beneficial to our 7-yr old who was struggling with reading. Seeing his progress over the months and through the pre- and post-program assessments has been incredible. Maureen and her team are so kind and supportive and figure out what each kid needs individually to grow their confidence and brain skills! Thank you, LearningRx!

Amy (Tysons, VA)

Reading lessons are done so much more quickly now. She has a much better attitude doing them because she doesn’t struggle as much. She also picks up her own books and tries to read them on her own.

Becky (Chandler, AZ)

The confidence he has gained, even during the difficult parts. Everybody is always so positive and uplifting. He is better at sticking to the difficult parts and can himself see his own improvements. Logan has improved almost 2 full grade levels in reading. He has more stamina for reading. He is retaining math information better, and knows he is now ‘really good’ at math.

Jessica (Pensacola, FL)

Learning Rx was an important game changer for my son. We see improvements in focus, critical reading and thinking, math processes, academic independence, and self confidence. I highly recommend Learning Rx.

Jackie de Laveaga (Chandler, AZ)
