Who will benefit from ReadLS?
ReadLS is designed for anyone over 5 years of age who meets any of the following criteria:
- Their reading age has reached a plateau and falls further and further behind with each passing year
- They have been diagnosed with dyslexia or a learning disorder
- They have poor reading, spelling, or writing skills
- They have trouble picking up the skill due to ADHD or ASD
- They have a poor working memory
Other possible criteria include if the child has good reading skills but can’t recall what they’ve read; their reading skills are normal, but they feel discomfort or suffer from fatigue when reading; they have difficulty following oral instructions; they feel uncomfortable looking at black letters on white paper, or white letters on a blackboard, or they have eye movement control problems.
What exactly is ReadLS?
CanAdvance utilizes the ReadLS SaaS (Software as a Service) educational platform pioneered in Canada by LSWorks. ReadLS is a high-end cognitive therapy program that targets the neural pathways required for reading acquisition, memory, word roots, spatial awareness and more. The objective is to help those struggling with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, dyspraxia, and other learning difficulties to become confident readers which will carry over to all other areas of these students’ lives.
ReadLS provides significant improvement in word attack, word identification, reading rate, reading accuracy, reading comprehension and passage completion.
How did CanAdvance and ReadLS get their start?
CanAdvance was founded by a team of individuals wanting to provide leading-edge and cost-effective solutions for overcoming the challenges of reading and learning. The team searches out best practice solutions throughout the world and brings them to benefit clients in the U.S.
The genesis story for ReadLS is eagerly shared by Ingrid Poupart – the Co-founder, Chairperson and CEO at LSWorks. The seeds of ReadLS were sown when Ingrid’s youngest child was diagnosed with dyslexia. Ingrid began investigating the causes of reading deficiencies in the brain. She learned that fluent readers used efficient pathways while struggling readers were using inefficient pathways to do the same task. Ingrid knew that by building fun and engaging games to assist the children that they would be less reluctant and more inspired to complete a program. This would work to build higher-order thinking skills.
What can children expect after using ReadLS?
The ReadLS approach boosts reading by an average of two grade levels by using a Cognitive Therapy Approach.
ReadLS improves decoding, reading comprehension, provides gradual cognitive load increase, an increase in visual movement, an increase in word attack difficulty level, homophones, and an increase in multi-tasking.
Consultants for CanAdvance have already helped many children with learning differences, attention disorders and emotional disturbance. The program not only helps students struggling with learning disabilities, but also helps children who want to improve memory skills and increase stress tolerance.
