The Importance of Early Intervention
Dyslexia is universal across different world languages. This is very important to note for multi-lingual learners: if they have reading challenges in one language, chances are that they will struggle to read when they learn any language. On average, 15-20% of people present with markers of dyslexia (although reading difficulties can also be due to poor instruction, cognitive delays, ADHD, language barriers, and other learning disabilities). In any given classroom, up to 20% of students are facing reading challenges, even if they’re not outwardly dyslexic.
Reading intervention matters, because it targets literacy gaps and prevents struggling readers from falling further behind. Research over decades has proven that early intervention works. It’s never too late to remediate dyslexia, but the earlier we jump in and support students, the better. What does not work is waiting for the individual to “outgrow” it. Addressing difficulties early on can prevent potential problems with behavior, learning, and social interaction. During the early elementary years, the brain is especially flexible, making it easier to build and strengthen neural pathways necessary for reading. Children who receive structured, evidence-based support in phonological awareness, decoding, and fluency in the early grades often catch up to their peers more quickly.
Step 1:
Contact us to discuss your concerns and observations of your child.
Step 2:
Book an Initial Assessment to figure out the various strands of reading and writing difficulty your child is struggling with. We analyze your child's errors to determine the nature of his/her struggle.
Step 3:
We discuss our findings with you and outline the scope of the intervention plan.
Step 4:
We set up a schedule and begin intervention. We follow the Wilson Reading System with fidelity and precision. Your child receives support in reading, spelling, and comprehension, with a focus on what the initial assessment revealed as his/her primary struggles.
