What are People Say about my Working Memory & Hemisphere Integration Bundle Digital Download?

    boost working memory
  • "I have quite a few of these resources. Good move on my part. I am a dyslexic specialist and my pupils love the exercises. One or two find it a tad challenging and get frustrated. So I do one or two while they observe/participate and are delighted when I ‘miss’ or make errors. Before you know it the children want to see if they can better my scores and beat me in timing..... works like a charm.  Actually, I think it is me who is hooked. More so than the children (:  Thank you for such original and varied resources."
  • "Wow! What a fun and thorough group of activities to increase working memory skills! Thank you! I even laminated some pages so that they can be used over and over with dry erase markers!"
  • "Amazing materials. I didn't know where to begin to help my daughter. I can't thank you enough!"
  • "Challenging yet useful resource for students that struggle with these areas of learning. Noticing improvements in my students' abilities to complete these tasks in faster time with less frustration. Thank you!"

Remediating Dyslexia with Orton Gillingham Based Reading Games

Students with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities often learn differently and require an alternative approach to learning basic reading. In addition, most of these young learners are working full tilt while sitting in the classroom and by the time they get home and have to complete their homework, they are mentally spent. As a result, tagging on remedial reading lessons to a cup that is already overflowing can be enough to turn these kids off to learning altogether. How Can We Help These Students Learn the Core Skills Needed to be Successful Readers? First, employ an individualized approach as each student has unique challenges and gaps in knowledge. If you need to assess the areas that require remediation be sure to use an assessment tool such as the Good Sensory Learning Reading Assessment Second, the process needs to be fun and engaging. Many programs require students to slog through boring lessons, complicated rules, and bland workbook pages. Many o...

What Exactly is Tracking? Tracking is the ability for one's eyes to move smoothly across the page from one line of text to another. Tracking difficulties happen when eyes jump backward and forward and struggle to stay on a single line of text.  This results in problems such as word omissions, reversals, eye fatigue, losing your place while reading and most importantly it can impact normal reading development.   Can Tracking be Improved?
