3rd Grade FCAT Program
A Very Different Approach to 3rd Grade FCAT Help and 3rd Grade FCAT Tutoring
My name is Mira Halpert. I have a Masters in Education from the
University of Michigan. In 1995, we were told our then 8th grade daughter Julie was
not college material.
I became a mother on an education mission to help my daughter become OUTRAGEOUSLY SUCCESSFUL.
Using the multi-disciplinary program I developed Julie:
- Improved her reading 4.2 grade levels in 7 months
- Earn her Masters Degree in Education from the University of Florida
- Become an innovative teacher, Julie is now a Nationally Board Certified Teacher, teaching gifted 3rd grade at Arthur Ashe.
We have helped over 1200 students since 1997 and found:
- These kids often come from the best families, go to great schools and have secured outside professional help, but...
-
The problems are often present in first grade, are more obvious by 3rd grade, and are still present in 12th grade -- just consider:
- Almost 90% of the students with a word identification problem in 1st grade will be poor readers in 4th grade
- Over 70% of the 3rd graders with a reading disability (dyslexia) will still have a reading disability (dyslexia) in 12th grade
- 55% of the children of college graduates read below grade level in 8th grade
What is worse -- this happened to us and in other terrific and very successful families
A few examples of our successes
- A 2nd grader whose parents had invested $6000 at Huntington Learner without much success was able to improve his standardized test scores from the 18th to the 83rd percentil within a year
- A 3rd grader who was the weakest reader in her class and spent almost 4 hours a week on spelling alone, became the best reader in her 4th grade class, regularly got 95s and 100s on spelling tests with less than an hours work, and is now has a 3.96 GPA in high school
- The mother of a 5th grader, who was at the 48th percentile, was told her daughter was doing OK. With our help she improved to the 95th percentile and now is about to enter college -- taking honors and AP classes in high school
I am now a Professional on a Mission with an excellent team behind me to Help Your

3D Learner Offers Parents Free Briefings
We offer a kid and parent friendly facility that allows the
students to enjoy their work while making dramatic gains.
We focus
on helping your child to be Outrageously Successful, reducing the time
and stress for your child and you, and to help your child develop an "I
can" attitude. We also offer on-line programs that can make a huge difference for your Smart Struggling Child. Our process includes
- Free Parent
Briefings that allow you to understand why your smart struggling teenager child is experiencing problems. We provide free suggestions to ease the stress, and discuss
program options to make the difference
- Assessing for your child's learning style as well as screening for underlying visual
perception, auditory or other processing challenges (72% of our students skip words and lines when reading, even
though they may have 20/20 vision. Additionally, many have attention
problems)
- Training your child to improve reading speed and comprehension,
standardized test scores, including the FCAT, and reducing homework
time and stress
-
Working with you the parents to help you to become the coach and advocate
your bright-right-brained child needs -- their needs are very different than their siblings, and small changes can make big differences
- Collaborating with your other professionals
We
realize that seeing is believing. In October, we will be offering Free Parent Briefings live at our Boca Raton Facility and over the phone. We will show you:
- How we screen for these bright-right-brained learners
-
How we assess, including a Visagraph (R) and the Interactive Metronome
(R), that show visual perception and attention issues in a way that
will help you to see what your child is experiencing
- The tools we use to improve reading speed and comprehension, test scores, math, spelling and writing
We will also answer any of your questions.
