Here's an update from a parent who came to us a year ago. Her son was anxious, reading resistant and unhappy with school.

"He is doing really well now. Loves Middle School! Doing great in his school work & his attitude has been good. We are pleased but watching him closely. He is reading a lot independently, definitely reading above grade level now. It is hard to believe he was diagnosed with dyslexia two years ago."
Dyslexia programs by individual need


This 6th grader ran into reading difficulties in 4th and 5th grade and was starting to give up on himself. Our dyslexia treatment started to help after only a few weeks.

"I am seeing changes already (6 weeks in). I was in tears just like the parent I saw in your video about the kids with dyslexia. We have been looking for a dyslexia program for a longtime and are so relieved. When we used to send him upstairs to read it was a struggle. Now he goes up and reads on his own. He is also focusing better, his attitude is better and his confidence is growing. It's exciting."

This 2nd grader made almost no progress in the year prior to Gemm Learning. Dyslexia was suspected.

"Our son had a reading assessment done at the end of last school year before starting Fast ForWord at Gemm. I had his reading teacher do another assessment at the end of September. He has come up ONE GRADE LEVEL in reading!!!!!!! The fact that he did this over the summer and that prior to this we were worried about dyslexia is clearly an indication that Gemm Learning was the reason for his success!!!"

This 28 year old tried several dyslexia programs for children and adults before she found Gemm Learning.

"Within three weeks I noticed my listening was better. I was no longer having trouble writing phone messages. Then I started to notice my spelling errors. I am finally out of the dark, I can read newspapers and even books now. I always used to worry about reading to my own children. Now I know I will be able to do that. It's a great feeling."

This mother was looking for a dyslexia support for children that could be done from their holiday home over the summer. Gemm's at home service fit the bill.

"It's like the invasion of the body snatchers. He's a different kid, brimming with confidence and reading much more comfortably. On his first day back at school he read out loud to his class and reading teacher and got a standing ovation. The teachers and his peers were amazed at the difference."

This 18 year old fought reading her entire life.

"Good news is that after many years Maya picked up and read a whole book. She read Black Beauty. Even if it's a children's classical, it was great to see her take the initiative and time to read at her own will. She has picked up a second book, The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han, a book for middle schoolers."

This child was not formally diagnosed with dyslexia, but had all the tell tale symptoms, including a real aversion to reading.

"We are going to take the day off from Fast ForWord Reading 3 today to celebrate her birthday. She is 11 years old today. She wanted to go to the bookstore Wednesday - she bought 5 books with her own money. This is not something she would have done three months ago. It would have been to overwhelming to have five books staring at her to read. What a wonderful birthday present Fast ForWord has been for her!"
