Reading Success in Months Not Years

Online Dyslexia Tutor For The Visual Learner

by

An online dyslexia tutor was what mom wanted. She found various programs. Then she read this article on the Coronavirus Learning Slide.

She now recognized the risk that her son’s reading comprehension and math skills could drop significantly over the summer.

Mom was also concerned about her son’s lack of motivation and self-esteem.

A friend recommended she call 3D Learner. Her friend commented, “3D Learner is far more than a dyslexia tutor. They can improve comprehension and math and get him to like reading.”

Mom called and we asked:

  • Does your child remember places visited, even from years ago?
  • Does your child learn best when he or she sees and experiences information?
  • Is your child a lot smarter than present results would indicate?

She answered yes to all 3 questions. Then she asked, “What differentiates you from the traditional online dyslexia tutor?”

The answer is a lot. It turned out that her son:

  • Did skip words and lines when reading
  • He lost focus when bored — even though he was not ADHD and
  • Anxiety was a problem

While reading fluency was a legitimate concern, mom said that reading comprehension and self-esteem were mission critical issues. She also wanted to find a way to get her son excited about learning.

She then asked, “I think my child is a visual learner and has eye-teaming and attention challenges. Is there a way to confirm that?”

We said, “Yes, 3D Learner does offer a no cost screening tool. Do this with their child and you can find it at Success Assessment

She then asked, “How does the online program work?”

We explained that using zoom, our hands-on program, our web-based software and our experienced teachers — we are able to offer an integrated, engaging and effective program.

Her son is now several weeks into the program and doing well.

Our goal between now and the time schools starts is to:

  • Significantly improve his reading comprehension
  • Get him excited about learning
  • Boost his self-esteem and
  • Get him ready for school in the fall –

If this sounds like your child:

  • Take the Success Assessment with your child
  • Then call us at 561-361-7495 to discuss the results and how you can make the difference for your child

Learning Center Provides Webinar on The Better Way

by

As a Learning Center, our 3D Learner Team has heard two common themes:

  • Parents and students are exhausted and frustrated with online schooling and the associated homework, or
  • Some parents prefer to ditch academics completely

Our Learning Center Team believes there is a Better Way. To shift the focus from school work to a balanced approach that focuses on what will really help your child long term, and …

this can work for every parent and it will help you:

  • Focus on what is really important for your child and you
  • For those spending excessive time on schoolwork, how to get it done in less time and with less stress
  • To be in control of the process

We are hosting a 20-minute Zoom call on Tuesday April 28th at 9 pm on “The Better Way”. This video below outlines the 3 deliverables from the call.

Leverage The Next 100 Days to Create a Reading Surge

Our presentation will be 20 minutes — and we will stay on the call to respond to your questions and concerns.

As experts from Yale have said, there is a strong likelihood that many students reading will fall back more than with the traditional summer slide.

As you will discover on the video, we will be discussing no and low cost ways you can negate the risk and even narrow or close the reading gap.

If you have not been on a zoom call, the software will download automatically when you join the first call. If you want, you can download the software at this Zoom Download page.

To protect everyone on the call, we will be providing a password.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your situation call us at 561-361-7495.

Close the Reading Gap for Your Smart Struggling Child

by

To close the reading gap is difficult during normal times. In this article on Reading to Close the Achievement Gap, the author gives 5 good suggestions:

1. Allow time for daily reading practice.

2. Hook boys on reading.

3. Engage all students in STEM books, particularly girls.

4. Challenge students.

5. Help struggling readers catch up.

Close The Reading Gap Must Now
Be Done At Home with Online Help

Close The Reading Gap With an Integrated, Engaging and Effective Approach

We have had the pleasure of helping thousands of smart struggling students to close the reading gap. We have done this for students in K to 12 and beyond. Three things that differentiate what we do:

1- Our mindset is to help your child succeed in months not years

2- Our assessment process is designed to identify how your child learns best, where your child is strong and where he or she struggles. We also get a baseline for your child’s reading comprehension

3- Our process is integrated, engaging and effective

Call us at 561-361-7495 to discuss the possibilities

It requires a far different approach:

1- First one must identify how the student learns best

2- One must identify the challenges that are holding your child back. Visual processing, working memory and anxiety challenges are three of the most common challenges the visual learner has.

Close the Reading Gap with an Integrated, Engaging and Effective Approach
To Close the Reading Gap Requires a Different Approach for the Visual Learner

3- One must then assess what is the child’s reading comprehension and reading fluency. Too often fluency, how well a student reads out loud, is used to measure reading. We believe it is critical to measure both

4- It really helps to set BOLD Goals – our goals tend to be more aggressive than others, because we know it is possible

5- Partnering with the right professional is critical. We have the experience at doing this and we use tools like Reading Plus (R) to really make the difference

3D Learner offers two ways to get started:

1- Take our no cost Success Assessment with your child

2- Call 3D Learner at 561-361-7495

The really good news is that with significant time between now and when school starts, this is an excellent time to really make the difference for your child.

Reading Comprehension Now a Bigger Issue

With schools closed from mid-March until mid-August experts are predicting a Covid-19 Learning Slide —   During this time, …

there is a real risk that many students will go on a downward spiral, as they have to deal with confinement, online schooling and not being able to go out and play with friends.

Students who were expecting additional services at school have found these services reduced.  More than ever, it is up to parents and grandparents to help your child/grandchild succeed.

At this point, the issues we are getting calls on range from:

  • My child is really struggling, help
  • I need a summer enrichment program for my child

Reading Comprehension Is The Most Common Challenge

The gap between where your child may start school next year without help and where they could be with a significant effort has never been greater

The good news is that there is more time that every to get it right.

The graph below shows how a third grade, who was 1.5 years below grade level when this process started could end the summer:

  •  2.5 years below grade level if they experience the Covid-19 slide
  • On grade level with help from the right learning center or other professional

Grade Retention, Promote or Intensive Remediation

by

Grade Retention has been a contentious item. Parents sometimes have asked schools to retain their child and schools have often decline.

Now with schools closed, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has told parents they now have the right to keep their child in the same grade. The logic being, without remedial reading help for 3 months, many students may not be ready to be promoted.

This makes sense given three major factors:

  • With prevailing standards, there is a significant increase in difficulty from one grade to the next – especially between third and fourth grades where there is a shift from learning to read to learning to read
  • Next year, teachers will be required to cover what was not covered this year and next year’s curriculum. Therefore, the pace will be faster than ever
  • It is now possible and probably likely that schools will be closed from March through August. A student that was below grade level in March is likely to find the curriculum even more difficult. For those who were further behind the challenge will even greater

Beat Grade Retention By Focusing on Reading

Most parents will reject grade retention, and we understand that. We recommend that at the very least you:

– Read with your child 30 minutes every day

– Turn the text on TV and slowly lower the sound on your TV — this will encourage word recognition skills and build language- Have more discussions with your child and help them build their language skills.=

– Use tools like Learning Ally and Audible for kids – which is free for kids as of April 1st. Audible provides many stories.

Learning Ally is a very comprehensive set of books. Call us at 561-361-7495 for a subscription at a very reasonable price. Learning Ally allows your child to both hear the book and follow the text.

These actions will help, but the far better option is intensive remediation.

As the chart below shows, a third grade who is a year and a half behind may be:

– Two years below grade level by the time the next school year starts

– A year and a half behind with a concerted effort

– Able to get back to grade level with the right intensive remediation

Avoid Third Grade Retention
Avoid Grade Retention with Intensive Remediation

3D Learner Offers Intensive Remediation to Beat Grade Retention

Grade retention is a legitimate option and it might be right when you child is:

  • Well below grade level and/or
  • Among the youngest in his or her class is struggling

At the 3D Learner Learning Center, we see this time period as an unprecedented amount of students to catch up. With an hour a day effort 5 day a week effort, a student can make dramatic gains with the right help.

Based on our 23 years of experience, we know that many students can:

  • Improve their visual processing, working memory and processing speed
  • Dramatically improve their vocabulary, math skills and reading comprehension – often by 2, 3 or 4 grade levels
  • Be better prepared for next year and beyond with the right help

But, the challenge is with social distancing and “stay-at-home” orders, how does a student accomplish this?

The 3D Learner Learning Center, we have temporarily closed our physical location, and we are offering:

  • Assessments that can be done:
    • Initially on line using our Success Assessment that screens for a learning difference, attention and visual processing challenges
    • Online with more comprehensive assessments
  • One on one services using Zoom software. We have used this for several years with out of state clients, and recently we started using it with local clients. The response has been very promising
  • Brain training to improve working memory, visual processing and/or processing speed
  • A Reading Comprehension and/or Visual Processing program
  • Based on demand, we may offer small group training via zoom
  • We will be providing Facebook Live conversations each day at no cost — for more information visit our 3D Learner Facebook page

The 3D Learner Difference

  • Our program was developed when we were given some negative use. We find that highly motivated parents often make great clients
  • We work on the foundational skills required to succeed. We help students to:
    • Improve their word recognition and sight word vocabulary
    • Attention and visual processing
    • Reducing anxiety
    • Improving
      • Working memory
      • Reading speed and comprehension
      • Self-esteem
    • Helping parents to be the coach and advocate their child needs
  • We have been helping students go from Stress to Success in Months Not Years

Reading Plus (R) and/or Gemstone Vision Software (R) program to improve your child’s Reading Speed and Comprehension and/or Visual Processing at Home.

With the CoronaVirus scare — it is likely that schools will be closed until the next school year. 

Reading Plus and Gemstone Vision Software can be used by students in grades 3 through college to make 2, 3, 4 and in a few cases 5 years gains in their reading comprehension over 4 to 6  months.  This can :

  •  For the smart struggling child who has dyslexia, a reading disability, a learning disability or is just way behind in school.  As shown below, a struggling third grader, who is 1.5 years below grade level is likely to enter school next school year 1.5 to 2 years below grade level.  With these programs, there is a good chance they could get back to grade level.
Reading Plus and Gemstone

Reading Plus and Gemstone Can                           Help Students Make Big Gains

  •   For the student-athlete, the reading improvements would be similar and they would see improvement in their sport skills

 

  • These programs can be used for enrichment. We helped a high school student who could not get accommodations to improve his reading speed from 125 to 300 words per minute, to improve his comprehension by 2 grade levels and to increase his SAT scores by close to 200 points

As shown below, on the 2019 NAEP (National Assessment of Educational, close to 2/3 of our 4th graders and our 8th graders were reading below grade level. Far too many of these students are reading below basic reading levels

4th Graders Reading Below Grade Level      65%

8th Graders Reading Below Grade Level      66%

We have tested thousands of these students and find some alarming and encouraging information.

Many of these students are 2, 3, 4 and even 7 years below grade level in their reading comprehension.

Reading Plus and Gemstone

Reading Plus and Gemstone Can                     Improve Reading Comprehension

 

At 3D Learner, we have been using Reading Plus successfully for over 15 years, with many students 2, 3 and even 4 year gains in their comprehension within 4 months – with some of our best gains coming when Reading Plus is used with the Gemstone Vision Software.

3D Learner is a Boca Raton Learning Center, that has helped students to dramatically improve their reading comprehension, test scores, attention, visual processing, self-esteem and more since 1997.  Two excellent software packages we use are Reading Plus and Gemstone Vision Software.

 

Reading Plus and/or Gemstone Vision Software for Home Use

3D Learner is offering multiple solutions, including a combination of programs that include:

  • The Reading Plus Program to improve improve reading speed and comprehension and vocabulary level and/or
  • Gemstone Visual Processing Program to improve visual tracking and to address the convergence insufficiency problem that research shows is quite common. In a 2018 study, a Boston Children’s Hospital team found that 79% of the students with dyslexia had a vision related challenge — this was using a Visagraph — which is the same tool we use in our office to diagnose a vision related challenge. Below is a video that shows a student who had a significant tracking issue before treatment and his improvement after 5 weeks of training.

Florida Third Grade Retention – 2020 Parent’s Guide

by

Florida Third grade retention policies were first put in place in 2002. Governor DeSantis has now given parents the option on both third grade retention and grade retention in any grade. Mandatory third grade retention based on test scores will not apply in 2020, as there is no testing.

When parents ask us about either third grade retention or grade retention in earlier or later grades, our advice has changed

1- Grade retention is an option to consider if your child is way below grade level and/or has ADHD or other challenges. Students with ADHD often have the maturity of a student 70% of their child’s age (i.e. a 9 year old with ADHD may behave more like a 6 year old). If this child also has reading problems, and the parents do not take action, grade retention may be the best option

2- When a child is not ready for middle school, grade retention may be the right choice. This often works best if one changes school.

3- The best option is to improve your child’s reading comprehension, attention and other skills.

Here is what some students may be facing. Matthew was 1.5 years below grade level in the middle of third grade. Given what is now called the Coronavirus Reading Slide, there is a good chance Matthew will be two years below grade level by August, without a major push.

Third Grade Retention
Third Grade Retention May Be Right with the Coronavirus Reading Slide

The good news is that this gap can often be closed. Below is a case of where a student improved his reading comprehension from the 2nd to the 4th grade level over the summer.

Coronavirus Reading Surge
Third Grade Retention can often be beaten by improve reading comprehension

At 3D Learner, we have focused on Success by Third Grade for the last 10 years.

If you have any questions or would like help – call us at 561-361-7495.

We have helped many parents to understand their risks, to then avoid Florida third retention and to help get their child’s reading comprehension back to grade level or above.

Senate Bill 1008.25 is the Florida law that covers Florida third grade retention and what a parent must be informed of.

At the bottom of this post is the specific wording from the portion on “Reading Deficiency and Parental Notification that covers third grade retention and what a parent must be informed of.

Given this is written in early March, the last point in the post is especially important — the wording is:

A parent of a student in grade 3 who is identified anytime during the year as being at risk of retention may request that the school immediately begin collecting evidence for a portfolio.

We encourage parents whose child is identified at risk for retention immediately request the school immediately begin collecting evidence for a portfolio.

Note, to be promoted a third grade student must either:

  • Score a Level 2 or higher on the third grade English Language Assessment
  • Meet one of the Good Cause Exemptions

Note, all the Good Cause Exemptions are harder to achieve than getting a Level 2 on the Third Grade English Language Assessment. The good news is that a student may be able to:

  • Achieve Level 2 with intensive short term help
  • Improve his or her reading comprehension to grade level with a concerted effort over the next 4 to 6 months

3 Keys to Beat Florida Third Grade Retention

Third Grade Retention
Beat Third Grade Retention for Your Child

1- Have your child do well on the third grade English Language Assessment. Some people recommend parents opt out of the testing. We respect their opinion, but all the good cause exemptions are much harder to achieve. Opting out does reduce the short term anxiety but it also increases the chances for grade retention.

2- If you have received notice that third grade retention is a risk, put a request in writing for a portfolio to be initiated ASAP.

3- By far the best choice is to:

  • Immediately request a portfolio
  • Have your child take the test
  • Find the right help to get your child to grade level or above

Most students at risk for Florida Third Grade Retention:

  • Learn differently than the way schools teach — that is, they learn best when he or she sees and experiences information
  • Have some combination of attention, eye-teaming, anxiety and/or related issues
  • Can do far better when he or she is taught to their strengths and when their challenges are identified and addressed.

Achieve Success by Third Grade

Beat Third Grade Retention and Early Grade Retention

by

Third Grade Retention has been a cornerstone of Education Policy in Florida since 2002.

Third grade retention and other student grade retention is driven by Senate Bill 1008.25.

Facing the risk of third grade retention, many parents choose to either opt-out of the test, send their child to a private school or homeschool their child. We encourage parents to consider our approach …

At 3D Learner, rather than trying to fight this law, we focus on Success by Third Grade or Sooner.

We offer an Integrated, Engaging and Effective Process that has helped the vast majority of our students to:

1- Get a Level 2 on the third grade English Language Assessment — the level required to avoid third grade retention

2- Improve his or her reading comprehension to grade level or above by August, when they start fourth grade

3- If students start too late to get a Level 2 on the test, we shift the focus to meet one of the Good Cause Exemptions that Florida offers to allow a student to be promoted to 4th grade

Third Grade Retention Can Be Beaten with The Right Program

For students facing third grade retention or retention in the earlier grades, reading comprehension is the issue that many people focus on. What is often missed is that students often learn differently and have some combination of attention, eye-teaming, working memory and/or anxiety challenges.

Third Grade Retention

Beat Third Grade Retention with an Integrated Approach

The good news is that it is not too late. As one mom wrote,

Mira, Mark and Victoria truly care about and love their students. My daughter came to them just about a month before the FSA and they helped her PASS!! What a huge accomplishment for a student that was told she was going to be retained and was not “reading on grade level” which was a contradiction to what I know, she has been “reading” with me since she was 4 years old.
