Parents Make The Difference 4 Success by Third Grade

July 26, 2015 by Mira and Mark Halpert

Why Parents Make The Difference for Success by Third Grade

In this New York Times article titled “Yes, Your Time as a Parent Does Make a Difference“. the author correctly argues that parents make a difference.

In this article we are discussing parents role in helping your child to achieve success by third grade where your child is a smart child who learns differently.  Over 60 percent of the students learn differently and an overwhelming percentage of the smart struggling students do, too.  We call these students right-brain learners — because their strength is learning best when the student sees and experiences information, and their strength is in the right-brain.

We will also assume that if your child learns differently, your child has either an attention and/or eye-teaming issue — which is true for over 98% of the students we see.

For Success by Third Grade, we change the wording from Parents Make a Difference to Parents Make The Difference for 5 key reasons:

1-  Most systems in schools are slow to diagnose students with learning problems.  In the last year that Florida reported the data, half the students diagnosed with a disability were not diagnosed until 3rd grade.  Parents can initiate a process to have your child evaluated  –  more on this is available at our page The RTI Trap, that discusses how far too many students are caught in the Response to Intervention or RTI Process that is designed to help students without special education services, but too often delays or denies evaluations.

2-  Most school-based programs are logical, sequential and auditory and do not serve the right-brain learner.  These right-brain learners often have problems with reading comprehension and standardized tests, in large part because they learn differently and have an attention, eye-teaming or related issue.

3-  Eye-teaming issues, where a child skips words and lines when reading, are not often caught my school based testing.

4-  Psychological testing, done by either a school-based psychologist or an outside psychologist, often misses the learning difference and eye-teaming issues

5-  To achieve Success by Third Grade for your child, parents make the difference by

–  Identifying if your child has a problem early on.  Research shows that if your child has a word identification problem in 1st grade there is almost a 90% chance that your child will be a poor reader in 4th grade.  As a parent, you want to proactively identify how your child learns best and your child’s challenges ASAP.

–  Understanding if your child learns differently and whether your child has an attention, eye-teaming and/or related issue

–  Finding out what your child’s present level of reading comprehension is.  Too often reading tests in the early grades measure reading fluency — how well your child reads out loud and does not measure reading comprehension.  Reading fluency is quite important, but the key academic skill your child needs to succeed in school, on standardized tests and in life is reading comprehension.

–  Finding the right program to get your child back to grade level- recognizing that right-brain programs often work best for right-brain learners

When a student is identified in 1st or 2nd grade, there is a far greater chance to get back to grade level. Even if the learning difference is identified in 3rd grade, there are some programs that can help your child to achieve success in months not years.

If you would like more information, visit our Success by 3rd Grade page where you will get at no cost:

–  A downloadable copy of our book “Success by 3rd Grade”.

–  Our Success Assessment that screens for a learning difference, attention, eye-teaming and related issue

–  A Success by Third Grade Strategy session

We encourage you to visit Success by Third Grade and to call 561-361-7495 so you can be a Make the Difference Parent.

Boca Raton Parent Coach for Success by Third Grade

July 25, 2015 by Mira and Mark Halpert

Boca Raton Parent Coach Focused on Success by Third Grade for Your Child

As parent coaches, we help local students from the Boca Raton area and parents nationwide via Skype and phone conversations

 

The Challenge was Third Grade Retention

The parents were concerned.  Their third grade son had been in the Gifted Program in Kindergarten and first grade.  Then he had been transferred into the regular classes.  Now in third grade, he was facing third grade retention.

The parents had invested in tutors, two nationally known learning centers and a phonics-based tutor with some success.  Mom was told her son was reading at grade level, but his reading comprehension was below grade level.

Mom had gone to Google and typed in Boca Raton Parent Coach in  Parent Coach and her mom, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, had typed in Parent Coach

What they found was a great list of therapists, who could be an excellent parent coach for psychological challenges, but a therapist was not what they needed.

Next, the first went to Understood, a very interesting website that has been put together by the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), the Learning Disabilities Association (LDA) of America and other great organizations.

The grandmother went to a page that represents a joint effort on Third Grade Retention by NCLD and LDA

Both the mother and the grandmother were confused.  They agreed third grade retention could and should be a last resort as the NCLD and LDA paper suggested, but nowhere were they given any guidance on how to help their child or grandchild to succeed by third grade.

3D Learner Focuses on Success by Third Grade

We have four children.  Two of our children read well at an early age.  One struggled for years, until Mira, their mother, developed the 3D Learner Program (R).

Our 4th child was able to succeed in 3rd because we got it right early on.

5 Key Insights:

1-  Most smart struggling students learn differently — they learn best when they see and experience information.  We call these students right-brain learners

2- Almost every right-brain learner we have met has either an attention and/or eye  teaming issue –  over half of the right-brain learners we have tested have both an attention and eye-teaming issue

image002

3-  These issues can be identified as early as 1st of 2nd grade, but are often missed, sometimes forever

4-  With help, most right-brain learners can achieve Success by Third Grade

5-  A Parent Coach who can help you to identify whether your child is a right-brain learner and whether your child has an attention and/or eye-teaming issue can be invaluable

To help your child to achieve Success by Third Grade, we would like to offer you at no cost:

–  Additional information at our Success by Third Grade Page

–  A copy of our book Success by 3rd Grade — that you can download at the bottom of that webpage

–   A no cost assessment that you can do with your child that screens for learning differences and attention, eye-teaming and related challenges
