How do I help my child become a better reader? And in turn, grow to love reading?

Reading is a crucial skill in today's society, impacting various aspects of life, from every-day-life, education to career opportunities. It's disheartening to see individuals struggle with reading, as it can lead to a cascade of challenges, including disengagement from education and eventually dropping out of school entirely. Identifying underlying issues is key to addressing reading difficulties effectively. Interventions and programs aimed at improving to mitigate these challenges offer individuals hope for the future and unlock their potential for lifelong success in reading and beyond.

Most children who have difficulties in reading are bright, verbal and have outstanding verbal memories. For these children, simply exhorting them to "work harder" isn't effective because the root isn’t being dealt with. Contact Vantage Vision and Reading to receive targeted interventions and support.

  • My son's reading has become much smoother and more fluent. The biggest change has been to see him pick up a book without many pictures, and watch him READ the story! In two months, he was able to track with his eyes across the lines of print (something he couldn't do before). He is so pleased with himself, and I can see his confidence grow! His writing reversals have also seen some improvements. -TB

  • "I've never had this... he's reading on his own because he wants to."

  • S couldn’t hit a baseball that was pitched to him last summer and I noticed this spring after the eye exercises that he suddenly could do it. And he can catch much better. It seems like his hand-eye coordination is better.

  • At school, my son was enrolled in an intensive multisensory reading program that helped him decipher words, but he had no ability to recall words once he had deciphered them. For example, he could not recall words from one sentence to the next. We added the Vantage Vision & Reading Program to his multisensory program. With the improvements in his visual processing and visual memory skills Michael could remember words. This resulted in increased fluency and a large improvement in his reading level. As well, Michael began to learn his math facts. Prior to the Vantage Vision & Reading Program, he could not recall his basic math facts and struggled with math. The improvements in reading are expected to continue as he practices his new-found skills, and eventually I expect Michael to be reading at his grade level. -Michael’s mom

  • I’ve been meaning to send you an update on E. I am SO impressed by the speed at which her reading picked up since we completed the eye program. She went from barely being able to decode small words to fairly fluently reading picture books in only a couple of months. I noticed in the weeks following the program that her reading finally took off and she enjoys reading now. She caught up to her classmates after being probably one of the furthest behind from Sept-Jan. It was amazing to see. -E's mom
