Common misconceptions by parents about reading...

Won’t my child receive the extra help he/she needs in school to improve?

Unfortunately, No!  Due to classroom overcrowding, inadequate Reading/Language Arts curriculum used that does not focus on struggling readers or is multisensory, various student needs/levels in one group, limited time to teach per subject, and the lack of sufficient training(s) given to the teacher/assistant by the school system in improving deficits, to actually increase the "educational gap."  Gains will never be adequately met for your child solely depending on the classroom if extra support is not immediately received.


My child just does not apply themselves, they will grow out-of-it as they get older?

This is a very false misconception, a learning disability or a reading deficiency is not something your child will just ‘grow-out-of’.  It is a neurological deficiency, that can be successfully managed with the right help, but never eliminated. If immediate early, intensive help is not given to support your child or adolescent could struggle with this problem for the rest of their lives.


My child is just a baby-he/she has not even entered into school yet, they should be having fun until they start worrying about school-right?

Unfortunately, NO. Lack of school readiness bodes ill for future school performance. Poor school readiness predicts increased likelihood of low levels of academic achievement and high levels of retention in grade, special-education placement, and ultimately school dropout. These same children are at elevated risk for teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, unemployment,social dependency, and poor parenting practices.


I work and barely have time for myself; can’t they get tutoring when they get in high school and more independent?

Sure they could wait, but the chances of them getting the help they need in time to truly have a developmental impact on their lives is almost impossible.  Sadly, they will probably not stay in High School long enough after years of continuous failure in school. Only an average of 61.2% of students in GA. graduate; 75% in the Nation graduate.

My child has behavior problems and will not focus long lengths to enjoy these lessons, are they designed to engage them?

Our tutorial staff is equipped for behavior problems that result from struggles in academics and social processing.  The lessons, at whatever age, are engaging and use kinesthetic and multisensory approaches that students will enjoy and learn!  As they progress in their levels of understanding more enthusiasm with the program will be developed.
