Middle & High School Reading Program

• Reading comprehension is falling off?


• Still not a fluent reader?
  
• Does not read for pleasure or resists reading?


• Slow reader?

If any of these describe your child, we can help by targeting the underlying cause of these common reading problems.

As the volume of studying and school work increases, your teenager will need to learn more from a text in less time to stay on track. To do this a child must be able to read fluently and with comprehension. Plus they must be able to process and analyze what they are reading, in any subject. Many children at middle and high school do not yet have these skills.

Our goal is to help your pre-teen or teenager develop reading comprehension skills that include the ability to think critically while reading. Gemm will develop an individualized, one-time program that builds this level of reading competence by building an effortless and fluent reading style, an understanding of the language and well developed abstract thinking and reasoning skills.  

We work on these reading skills

It's a four-step process. We strengthen cognitive underpinnings, refine fluency, then reading comprehension, then finally higher level critical reading.

Secure Cognitive Foundation.Our program works directly on the impediments to reading fluency and reading comprehension, in an individualized and adaptive program that strengthens fundamental cognitive skills and fills in the gaps in your child's reading make-up. For teenagers this process takes only a few weeks.
More about our Cognitive Foundations program

Reading Fluency. Our first goal is to ensure your child has an effortless, automatic reading style. If decoding is not automatic it draws on brain power that is required for higher level reading comprehension.

Reading Comprehension. The ability to read and associate words with meaning becomes more challenging as the content becomes more difficult in later grades. Our individualized program works on the exact skills your child needs to become a stronger, more efficient reader.

Inferential and Critical Reading. The highest level of reading comprehension requires the ability to make inferences from the text, to self-correct and self-question the level of understanding, while reading. This program pushes reading skills to their ultimate.
