Reading Makes Your Child Smarter, and Your Child Misses a GOLDEN Opportunity If You Do Not Teach Your Child to Read Now
The first several years of your child's life are the most important for healthy brain development and growth. Critical aspects of a child's brain are established well before they enter school, and it is the experiences during these sensitive periods of development that play a critical role in shaping the capacities of the brain. [i] Please see the graph below, which charts the synapse formation in a child's brain at different ages.
As you can see, synapse formation for higher cognitive function peaks around 2 to 3 years of age. There is a direct link between a child's academic performance and future success with positive early experiences and developing early reading skills.
Reading makes your child SMARTER, and the very act of reading can help children compensate for modest levels of cognitive ability! [v - Cunningham, Stanovich]
And if you think... "why do you need to teach your child to read when they'll learn to read at school, and what are the chances that your child will be a poor reader?" Then you need to THINK AGAIN! Because...
67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level! According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, of that 67 %, 33% read at just the BASIC level, and 34% CANNOT even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level! The NAEP is the only ongoing survey of what students know and tracks their performance in various academic subjects for the United States. [2] The U.K. government's Department of Education reported that 42% of children left school without achieving a basic level of functional English - Over 100,000 students leave schools functionally illiterate in the UK each year! [4] The Australian Government Department of Education reported that 33% of all year 5 students CANNOT meet the benchmark literacy skills, and in Canada, 42% of Canadians are considered semi-illiterate! [6,7]Unfortunately, none of these above shocking literacy statistics should be surprising because... "Many in-service teachers are not knowledgeable in the basic concepts of the English language. They do not know how to address the basic building blocks of language and reading." - This is NOT a statement that we are making, rather, this is a finding from a study done at the Texas A&M University. Their study was aptly titled "Why elementary teachers might be inadequately prepared to teach reading." [5]
"I am happy to report that he has been able to read several books by himself now. My son feels very confident."
Hi Jim,
I just wanted to give you an update from us. I bought your program back in March of this year. And since then, my son and I have been doing the lessons diligently. I am happy to report that he has been able to read several books by himself now, including Green Eggs and Ham and Fox on Socks. My son feels very confident and is doing great in Kindergarten this year. I feel very lucky to have found your program and to help him become a successful reader.
I am now starting the program with our soon to be 3 years old. I look forward to seeing her great success too.
Thank you again.
A very happy customer and mother,
Maya P.

Hi Jim,
I just wanted to send you a quick second update. It is one year since we began your program, and I could not be happier and more impressed with my son's reading progress. He is now reading chapter books, around a late 2nd-grade level. He tested at 3rd grade level in sight words. And, best of all, he LOVES LOVES LOVES to read.
Thank you again!
Maya P.
