Change the channel, not the child
Bright kids often find reading frustrating because they need a different path to success.
Is this familiar?
1) Reading frustrations growing, when you want to see confidence building.
2) No solution offered except “do more”, when you want an explanation and a credible plan.
3) A deepening worry for their academic future, when you want them reaching their potential.
The problem is never the child… they just need an approach that fits their learning style.
“Doing more and more of the same, expecting a different outcome, is a sign of madness!”
– Albert Einstein
Lessons from over 17,000 experiments…
We have worked with over 17,000 children to understand how reading develops in the brain, how it can go wrong and what strategies work best for different children. This is all about getting the neuroscience right for each child.
For instance, you may have seen one or more of these patterns:
1) Repeated guessing with short, common words.
2) Skipping words and lines of text.
3) Difficulty blending sounds to form words.
4) Low comprehension of the words read.
5) Avoidance & tantrums or… the dreaded silent treatment!
Each pattern indicates a different underlying issue that needs to be addressed. With the right resources and guidance, you can overcome any of them. We have seen that thousands of times with each pattern.

Here is some background on the research we have done:
Academic Research
Our strategies have been independently tested through a randomized control trial run by the Open University. A published peer-review journal article found that children who were 2 years behind, caught up to the national standard after 120 short daily lessons (about 30 instructional hours).

A word from David
” Currently a staggering one in four children cannot read confidently at the age of eleven. I know how that feels because I struggled a lot with reading myself! And it is very tough for all our teachers and the parents impacted.
We have spent the past decade perfecting new methods to change those terrible numbers forever. Accepting the status quo should not be an option for anyone involved. The old theories clearly don’t work.
I hope you will find what we share here interesting and useful. Please judge what we recommend by testing it or talking to someone who has used our new strategies. Experts can be challenged by new ideas and reading methods can become like religions. I am waiting to be burned at the stake any day now…
