Beating Dyslexia is really hard. This is especially true if your child is a Bright Right Brain Kinesthetic Learner with Dyslexia. Note, it is far easier for these kids to succeed if you:
-
- Address the dyslexia and
- Leverage experiential learning to capitalize on their strengths
- Identify and address their executive function and/or visual processing issues that are often present
- Ignite a love for learning
- Help the parents to be the coach and advocate their child needs
Beating Dyslexia with an Integrated Solution
Lisa had spent over $30,000 on an excellent dyslexia treatment for her daughter. The challenges included:
-
- A year later her daughter’s reading comprehension was still at the 1st grade level as she was about to enter 5th grade
- Homework was taking 2.5 hours a night for both her daughter and Lisa
- Her daughter was a slow reader and avoided reading
- Both mom and daughter were anxious, frustrated and exhausted
Lisa visited our website and then scheduled a no cost Beat Dyslexia conversation. Our first 5 questions all resonated with Lisa:
-
- Does your child remember places visited, even from years ago?
- Does your child learn best when she sees and experiences information?
- Does your child skip words and/or lines when reading
- Is your child a lot smarter than present results would indicate?
- Would you like to know how your child can make significant gains in months?
Lisa asked if her prior investment in a dyslexia treatment had been in vain. We assured her it was not. She then asked, “How is it that you know my daughter so well, without even meeting her?”
We explained that we had been in a similar situation with our daughter. When we were told our daughter was not college material, her mom, Mira Halpert, who has her Masters in Education from the University of Michigan, became a Mom on a Mission. With what has become known as the 3D Learner Program ®, our daughter improved her reading comprehension 4.2 grade levels in 7 months and went on her earn her Masters in Education From the University of Florida, become the teacher she never had, and is on track to get her Doctorate in Education.
We also shared with Lisa that we had helped hundreds of dyslexic students succeed with our integrated experiential learning approach.
With our help, Lisa’s daughter was able to:
- Improve her reading comprehension 4 grade levels within 6 months
- Double her reading speed from 115 to 229 words per minute
- Reduce her homework time from 2.5 to 1.25 hours per night.
- Decrease the amount of time mom had to spend doing homework with her daughter from 2.5 hours to 15 minutes — saving over 11 hours a week
- Lower the anxiety level and improve her daughter’s self-esteem.
- Ignite a love for learning

Is Your Child a Bright Right Brain Kinesthetic Learner with Dyslexia?
We know that most smart struggling students with dyslexia:
- Are Right-brain, visual or kinesthetic learners (hands-on) who can do far better with experiential learning that leverages their strengths
- Have some combination of working memory, processing speed, visual processing, attention, and/or anxiety challenges
- Often have a visual processing issue — where they read slowly and/or skip words and lines when reading. Note, there are many articles that say that dyslexia is not caused by a visual processing issue. That is true, but in our experience
Over 70% of the students we have had with dyslexia had a visual processing issue. These are two very different conditions that often coexist in the same child.
Beating Dyslexia and Preparing Your Child for Future Success Can Best Be Done
by Leveraging Your Child’s Strengths and Identifying and Addressing Their Challenge
- Are much smarter than present results would indicate
At 3D Learner, we have helped many students to:
- Beat dyslexia improve their reading and reading comprehension
- Rediscover their natural love of learning
- Improve their executive function skills, their visual processing and their self-esteem
- Improve their attention and emotional regulation
- Achieve far greater success than their parents even thought possible
Our programs can help the right brain, visual learner or kinesthetic learner with dyslexia to make significant gains in months. 3D Learner’s comprehensive educational assessment reveals important issues that many other assessments miss.
For instance, one parent had a recent psycho-educational test that indicated her daughter had dyslexia, attention, working memory and processing speed issues. After her daughter completed our assessment, she was surprised to learn that her daughter:
- Was a right brain, visual learner or kinesthetic learner
- Was a lot smarter than present results would indicate
- Had a significant visual processing issue, skipping words and lines when reading
- Struggled with reading comprehension and sequencing
- Had significant attention and emotional regulation issues
- Was very strong in 5 of the 11 skills we assessed — she had a great visual memory, was very creative and had a larger vocabulary than most
- But she had a real problem with the small words that often change the meaning of a sentence (i.e. words like the, but, what, if)
When Lisa’s mom saw the results, she asked “Why do schools not teach the way the right brain kinesthetic learner learns best?” We explained that schools, like most learning centers, focus on a child’s weaknesses.
Schools often do not:
- Leverage the student’s strengths and interests
- Identify and address issues like working memory, visual processing, or processing speed
- Ignite a love for learning, which is an essential part of the 3D Learner Experiential Learning Process.
- Help parents to be the coach and advocate their child needs

Reading comprehension issues have become even more pressing since the pandemic started.
- As always, we are seeing students with dyslexia and learning disabilities who are far behind. With the pandemic, the reading comprehension gap has widened for many of these kids
- For the first time, we are seeing many smart kids with no disabilities, who go to excellent schools, but who still are 2, 3 and even 4 years below grade level in reading comprehension
- Schools have done what they can this year, but it has not been enough
5 Keys to Reading Comprehension Success
1 – If your child is a lot smarter than present results indicate, and you want to significantly improve your child’s reading comprehension , you must take action now.
2 – Reject the status quo and consider the mantra that “Reading Comprehension Success is the Only Option”
3 – Identify your child’s strengths and challenges.
Most smart struggling students:
- Learn differently. They are often a right-brain, visual or kinesthetic learner. They learn best when they see and experience information
- Have a combination of challenges that might include – working memory, processing speed, visual processing, attention and/or anxiety.
- Struggle with traditional interventions that don’t capitalize on their visualization skills or identify and address the related challenges
- Can do far better with an approach that:
- Plays to their strengths and interests
- Identifies and addresses their challenges
- Ignites a love for learning that is often missing
- Helps you to be the coach and advocate your child needs

4 – Goals matter. If your child is much smarter than present results would indicate, set a BOLD Goal (e.g. Mary’s son was 2 years below grade level. His reading comprehension was at the 2nd grade level. She set the goal for him to improve his reading comprehension 3 grade levels in 6 months and to love reading. This was a BOLD Goal, but it led to him doing just that).
Important points to consider when setting goals and choosing a program:
- Significant negative news on reading comprehension can be a catalyst for taking action. That is exactly how the 3D Learner Program ® came to be. We never doubt the ability of a committed mom or dad to make the difference
- Parents are often shocked to hear that it may take 2, 3 or even 4 years to get your child’s reading back to grade level. These programs are often phonics-based programs that can take a long time.
- The 3D Learner approach is to significantly improve comprehension in 4 to 6 months. Most of our students are either right-brain, visual or kinesthetic learners who have struggled for years with traditional interventions.
- Three things that make these students different are:
- They learn best when they see and experience information
- They can often struggle with working memory, processing speed, attention, visual processing and/or anxiety issues
- When one capitalizes on their strengths, identifies, and addresses their challenges, they can make significant gains in months not years
5 – Partner with the right professional (s) to help your child succeed. You also want to work with professionals who will help you to be the coach and advocate your child needs.
The Difference between Reading and Reading Comprehension
Reading and Reading Comprehension are two very different skills.
Reading is often defined as how efficiently and effectively a student reads, while reading comprehension is understanding what one reads. Reading level and reading comprehension levels can differ by years.
Many parents are told that their child’s reading is not that bad. When we assess their child, the parents are often surprised to discover how far below grade level their child’s reading comprehension is.
The challenge is that schools often use reading levels and not reading comprehension levels. A 5th grade parent was told her child was reading on grade level, and that was true.
What the teacher did not mention was the student’s reading comprehension was at the 1st grade level
Ask your child’s teacher to clarify your child’s present level of reading and reading comprehension!!
“From her I-Ready score I knew my child had a reading problem.” I-Ready is a computerized program used by many schools. “When you tested my daughter’s reading comprehension and discovered it was 3 years below grade level, I was ready to act”. M James, Boca Raton.
Other catalysts can be:
- Grade retention risks. A parent called us almost at the end of last year’s school year when their child’s teacher recommended grade retention. The issue was primarily reading comprehension. When asked if it was too late to help, we responded, “No, if you act quickly”. The parents did. With our help, within 4 weeks the teacher commented “He is making so much progress I can’t possibly hold him back,”. By the end of the summer the young man’s comprehension was ahead of grade level
- Pressure from private schools is higher than ever. One young man was 2 years below grade level in third grade. The private school recommended the parents find another school, even though the young man had an above average IQ. He appeared to be a right-brain or visual learner, and he had parents committed to make the difference. With our help, over the next year, he improved his reading comprehension 3 grade levels. His teacher commented:
“Jack made more progress in a year than any student I have had in 27 years of teaching”.
One mom knew her child was a lot smarter than present results would indicate. She asked the principal what she could do to improve her daughter’s reading comprehension. He responded, “There is no need to do anything different. Her comprehension is at the 48th percentile and someone needs to be average”.
Mom joined our community of “Make the Difference Moms”. Within a year her daughter’s reading comprehension had gone from the 48th to the 95th percentile. Even better, her grades improved, even though she was taking harder classes.

- Assessing your child’s strengths and challenges. You want to consider a program that capitalizes on your child’s strengths, identifies their interests and has a track record of significantly improving reading comprehension for kids like yours.
