Brain Training and Dyslexia

When your child is diagnosed with dyslexia, it’s easy to worry. The good news is that many children with dyslexia thrive at school and later in life! With the right kind of training, children with dyslexia have built stronger reading skills and overcome learning difficulties after completing a LearningRx program. Even adults with dyslexia have strengthened their reading skills! 

While auditory processing is the most common root cause of dyslexia, it isn’t the only cause of reading difficulties. For example, reading difficulties may be tied to other cognitive skills, like visual processing.

At LearningRx, brain training plans are tailored to each child’s individual needs. For kids and teens with reading struggles, we focus on the root cause of these difficulties.

Our Approach is Backed by Science

At LearningRx, we have decades of experience helping clients with reading difficulties, and we’ve built our programs through rigorous research and practice in this area. Today, roughly 1 in 10 students at LearningRx has come to us with a diagnosis of dyslexia!

While brain training isn’t a cure for dyslexia, it has helped kids and adults with dyslexia become stronger readers. Our reading and reading comprehension programs include help with:

  • Recognizing letters by shape
  • Connecting letters to speech sounds
  • Sounding out words while reading
  • Spelling and vocabulary
  • Reading comprehension skills

Among 3,082 kids and teens with dyslexia who completed our reading program, the average gain in reading skills was 3.5 years. And in a research study with 3,527 children, the average gain in phonological awareness was 5.8 years in just 24 weeks! (page 32)

While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!

Personalized Training for Children with Dyslexia

LearningRx brain training targets the core cognitive skills used to think and learn with intense, complex brain games and mental exercises.

Every learner is partnered with a dedicated brain trainer who leads these games and exercises. The learner strengthens a specific skill or set of skills during each activity. We focus on underlying cognitive skills tied to reading difficulties — like auditory processing skills.

Our brain training programs for learners with reading disorders targets fundamental reading skills and places a special focus on auditory processing and teaches a sound-to-code reading system. This gives students the core skills they need to identify speech sounds in text, sound out words based on spelling, and recognize words while reading. Most learners with dyslexia have trouble with these skills, making LearningRx a great fit!

Brain Training or Tutoring for Dyslexia?

Tutors will often deliver information in alternative formats (like using pictures instead of words), or they might assist the student with reading and writing tasks. While this can improve grades, it doesn’t address the root cause of reading difficulties.

Rather than finding workarounds for students with dyslexia, our brain training plans focus on targeting the root cause of reading struggles. By improving these skills, students with reading difficulties may become more confident and more successful learners.

At LearningRx, we know how important it can be to find help early for younger students with reading difficulties. We also know that it’s never too late for individuals with reading disorders to build strong reading skills.

Schedule Assessment

Tutoring can be a good fit for students who:

  • Have missed classes due to illness
  • Have recently moved to a new school
  • Are learning from a substitute teacher
  • Benefit from reviewing class materials

Brain training is a great choice fit for students who:

  • Need to work harder or longer on schoolwork than peers
  • Have trouble focusing on lessons and assignments
  • Are having difficulty with core skills, like reading or math
  • Have tried tutoring in the past but haven’t seen results
