Learning Solutions

The first blog from a series about the foundations of reading - developed from an available webinar between Alan Heath and Alex Doman. Many thanks to ABT for making this information more widely available... a must for anyone with children or working with literacy.

If your child struggles with reading and you can see the frustration in their whole body… you are not alone. ❤️

So many kids who struggle with phonics and fluency are not fighting the words. They are fighting something deeper in the brain that no one ever explained to you.

Here is the part that makes parents stop.

🧠 Reading depends on how the brain listens.

🔹Timing
🔹Rhythm
🔹Pitch discrimination
🔹Auditory Processing

When those systems are shaky, reading feels like climbing a mountain every single day.

The hopeful part: These listening systems can be strengthened with gentle, therapeutic music that helps the brain feel calmer, more organized, and finally ready to read 📘🎧

If your child tries hard but reading only brings tears, this might be the piece you have been missing.

🎶 Did you know music and speech share many of the same pathways in the brain?

This is why rhythmic music can do more than provide a calming influence. It can help your child listen, process language, and speak with clarity and confidence.

You Know the Child Who Can Sound Out Words but Still Struggles to Read

You’ve tried the phonics programs. You’ve supported attention, focus, and language. But something deeper is still getting in the way.

That is exactly what this live Bonus Q&A with Alex Doman and Alan Heath will explore.

After hundreds of parents and professionals joined our recent webinar, Reading and the Brain: Unlocking the Sensory Foundation of Reading and Dyslexia, one thing became clear. People want more. So we added a follow-up session to go deeper and answer your questions.

If you are supporting a child with:
✔️ Dyslexia
✔️ Sensory processing challenges
✔️ Focus or regulation difficulties

If you have ever wondered why certain interventions do not lead to lasting change.
If you are searching for what might be missing beneath the surface.
This session is for you.

We finished The Movement Program with my 14 year-old daughter last week, we are very satisfied with it and made huge progress. The noticeable benefits include:

Better posture
Much more aware of her limb position in space
Dramatically improved her coordination
Gained speech fluidity and clarity

Many thanks to Jean-François Bourdin for sharing his thoughts on completing TMP with his daughter... these are fundamental skills for learning and life!
