My name is Mira Halpert.  I have a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Michigan.  I have four great kids.  Two of them excelled in school; the other two were equally bright, but they struggled with reading comprehension.

For 7 years we struggled.  Psychologists used labels like Dyslexia, a Learning Disability and ADHD -- and they recommended tutors, phonics-based programs and learning centers.

None of them worked well.  My husband Mark and I were both incredibly frustrated.

In 8th grade, my daughter Julie was told she was not college material and I became ...

A mom on a mission!!!

I was not interested in labels; my focus was on how Julie could succeed.

Then I discovered she learned differently. She learns best when she sees and experiences information -- like 62% of the kids in school today.

With what has become known as the 3D Learner Program ®, Julie improved her reading comprehension 4.2 grade levels in 7 months. (Teachers said it could not be done!) Since 1997, we have helped thousands of students and their parents succeed.
What drives me is:

-       The statistics are staggering about how many smart kids continue to struggle, often through high school and beyond.  We know in 1st grade what the issues are.  

Consider that almost 90% of the 1st graders with a word identification issue are still poor readers in 4th grade.

-       Over 70% of the 3rd graders with a reading disability will still have a reading disability in 12th grade. These statistics are ALARMING and schools are fundamentally not winning this battle!

Helping elementary school students is relatively easy, but ...

When I started to help other teenagers, I soon realized I needed a very different approach.

Imagine, you are a teenager reading 4 years below grade level.  The challenges include:

-  Their attitidue -- they find it tough to be difficult

-  Attention -- teenagers can pay attention for hours to that which interests them, but are bored in minutes for that which is boring

-  Tracking issues -- teenagers who skip words and lines when reading have learned that reading is hard, and they find it hard to follow what they read

-   Working with material that they do not understand -- reading 10th grade material is often difficult for the student who is 3, 4 or even 5 years below grade level.

-   They need to understand why -- why should I improve our reading comprehension

We have changed our ways and address all these issues and have now helped teenagers to improve their reading comprehension 4, 5 and 6 grade levels within 4 to 8 months
