Phonological awareness is one of the most foundational skills that is essential for successful reading. LearningRx brain training programs target this skill—along with things like auditory processing, visual processing, memory, logic, and more—to help struggling readers!

If you're worried that your child may not really be ready for next school year, summer can be a great time to build some momentum and gain some ground. But what should you do?
Tutoring is the more traditional approach, and in some cases it is helpful. But for students who struggle year after year or who have difficulties across subject areas, it may not be the most effective tool.
Check out this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast to hear more about these two types of learning interventions and how to make the right decision for your family this summer!

Have a child who "hates reading"? Often, this is because it's hard for them.
They aren’t comprehending it, they’re fighting for every word, and it’s just not a pleasant experience. Summer is a great time to take a step back and make sure they have the foundational skills that are necessary for successful reading.
At LearningRx, we target reading struggles by digging deep into the root cause. The reality is that more practice is not what’s going to help reading click for most kids—they need targeted intervention that addresses the cognitive deficits that prevented them from grasping it the first time.

❤️this story from a recent graduate!
If you have a child who's wrapping up the school year falling behind, losing confidence, and struggling to engage in school, summer is a great time to work on these core learning skills that impact all areas of life.

Tutoring targets gaps in teaching and content, while brain training targets gaps in learning skills. This makes a world of difference for many students who struggle in conventional learning settings.

When it comes to supporting individuals with ADHD, addressing attention struggles may be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, it's an attention deficit, right?
Not necessarily. Research has actually found that in ADHD cognitive profiles, 3 skills tend to be more deficient. Those skills are:
🧠Working memory
🧠Long-term memory
🧠And processing speed.
If we're not addressing the root cause of the struggle, we aren't going to see lasting change. This is why a well-rounded and individualized approach is so important!

Making sure your teen is ready for college means more than just making sure they’re academically prepared (even though that’s vital, too). College and post-high school life can be a shock for many teens who are not used to managing their own lives in some key areas.
Our biggest advice? Stop doing everything for your teen—and give them time to fail while they still have your support.
Check out this blog for some practical skills that you can hand off to your teen while they're still at home so they're more prepared for their next steps:

If you're trying to help a student with ADHD and you're ONLY looking at their attention skills, you could be missing a big piece of the puzzle.
Every brain is unique, but research has found that there are other key skills that are more deficient in most cognitive profiles of ADHD individuals—and by targeting these, you can help build focus, memory, and processing abilities.
Our approach to ADHD help is individualized and focused on targeting the root cause of the problem. Learn more here: https://www.learningrx.com/tysons/adhd-help/
