"Above all, do no harm..."
Every Dyslexic child is unique.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is simply a difficulty with learning to read. There are as many kinds of Dyslexia as there are children who are labelled with the condition. Left untreated, or incorrectly treated, the dyslexic child will likely experience loss of confidence and develop an aversion to reading and learning that will follow them into adulthood. This is why dyslexia is often called the scilent disability.
Children of the Code, a non-profit organization dedicated to unravelling the social and psychological complexities associated with the dyslexic child says: ABOVE ALL, DO NO HARM. Reading & Learning PATHWAYS is guided by the principles of this powerful site in our work with dyslexic students.
The core learning skills of memory, attention, processing and sequencing must be strong before reading becomes effortless. When tested, a dyslexic child or adult will most likely be identified as having one or more weak core learning skills.
PATHWAYS can identify which of these skills are weak and customize a program to strengthen them. The programs used by PATHWAYS not only develop the skills essential to become a strong reader (embedding similar phonetically based teaching principles as are found in Orton Gillingham instruction), but in a short period of time can empower the student to become a confident reader and independent learner.
Reading & Learning PATHWAYS serves students in North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Burnaby and is the only Learning Center on the North Shore that offers these life-changing programs.
Call us today and schedule an assessment to determine if our programs are right for your child. The cost of the assessment is under $200 and is applied towards the first month's fees if you decide to study with us. Reading & Learning PATHWAYS is dedicated to the success of all of our students. It is our mission to make every student's experience at our learning center a positive and life-changing opportunity.
The strengthening of these skills results in a wide range of improved critical language, reading and learning skills such as phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, decoding, working memory, syntax, grammar, and other skills necessary to learn how to read or to become a better reader.
"This program worked miracles for my dyslexic son. He went from being a struggling learner to an eager learner in a very short period of time. Not only did Pathways give my son the tools he needed to be successful at school, but they restored a love of learning that had been lost during the years he struggled with school".
