For years, many of us believed the dyslexia was about reading letters backwards. The reality of the reading struggle has
nothing to do with seeing reversed letters. The truth is that 85 percent of learning-to-read difficulties are caused by weak
phonemic awareness, the cognitive ability to blend, segment, and analyze sounds. This is why interventions that use cognitive
training techniques to target and strengthen auditory processing and other cognitive abilities get such tremendous results.
The word dyslexia actually means, "poor with words or trouble with reading." This could mean reading fluently, out loud,
reading new words, and/or pronouncing words correctly.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
Both are effective, but they are solutions to two very different problems. Learning consists of two components: the content
and the ability to learn, understand and apply that content. Tutoring addresses the first and one-on-one brain training
addresses the second.
Tutoring is designed to redeliver or reteach material to students to help them understand it further. Personal brain training
gives clients the tools they need to learn faster and perform better by focusing on the underlying skills that are integral
to memory, comprehension, learning and more.
So, while tutoring usually works well for students who missed being taught the material the first time around (such as due to an extended illness or injury or a family move) personal brain training is a good option for those who struggle with more than one class in school, take longer than their peers to finish homework, have difficulty with reading comprehension, or have been tutored and still face difficulties.

Another myth is that dyslexia is lifelong label. But it doesn't need to be. One-on-one brain training targets the weak
cognitive skills associated with dyslexia. Using game-like mental workouts, these personal brain training sessions strengthen
the skills that are integral to reading comprehension and fluency. Because programs are uniquely adapted for every client,
anyone, from 5 to 85, can experience benefits that can enhance their life. In fact, many clients experience dramatic results
and learn to love reading.
It's not uncommon for students or adults who go through one-on-one brain training for reading struggles to see significant
improvements, including things like:
