Understanding How the Brain Learns to Read Reading is not a natural human ability. Unlike speaking, which develops through exposure, reading must be explicitly taught. The brain creates reading pathways by connecting visual symbols (letters) to sounds (phonemes). For students developing reading skills through different pathways, this connection requires more explicit, systematic instruction. The good […] The post How can teachers effectively teach reading to students with dyslexia? appeared first on Learning Success.

Why the “Either-Or” Mindset Limits Your Child Many teachers and parents believe they must choose between supporting a child with reading differences and maintaining grade-level expectations. This thinking creates a false dilemma. The truth? Your child’s brain is wired to develop reading skills AND engage with challenging content. These goals work together, not against each […] The post How can I balance dyslexia support with grade-level expectations? appeared first on Learning Success.

Understanding Response to Intervention for Reading Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered framework designed to identify and support students who are developing reading skills at a different pace. Rather than waiting for children to fall far enough behind for a formal diagnosis, RTI provides early intervention through increasingly intensive instruction based on each student’s […] The post What is the RTI process for students with reading difficulties? appeared first on Learning Success.

Understanding the Early Signs Your Child’s Brain Processes Reading Differently Long before your child ever opens a first reader, their brain is laying the groundwork for how they will process written language.

Understanding Your Child’s Math Brain When your child struggles with math, it doesn’t mean they’re not smart or not trying hard enough. Research shows that dyscalculia affects 3-7% of the population—making it just as common as reading challenges, yet far less recognized. This brain difference affects how children process numerical information, particularly in the region […] The post What resources are available for parents of children with dyscalculia? appeared first on Learning Success.

What if the FDA just validated what many parents have long believed—that attention can be trained like a muscle? A new prescription brain-training app has cleared rigorous clinical trials, and the results challenge assumptions about building focus skills.

Understanding the Parent Experience When a parent walks into your classroom with concerns about their child’s reading development, they’re often carrying months—sometimes years—of quiet worry. They’ve watched their child work harder than classmates for smaller gains. They’ve heard “give it time” from well-meaning family members while their gut tells them something different. These parents aren’t […] The post How can teachers work with parents who are concerned about dyslexia? appeared first on Learning Success.

What if continuing ADHD medication during pregnancy is actually the right choice for many women? New research presented at a major psychiatric conference challenges old assumptions and supports a more nuanced, individualized approach to supporting focus needs during pregnancy.

What if the brain's attention networks could be strengthened like any other skill? New peer-reviewed research shows exactly that—with brain scans revealing measurable changes in how the brain processes focus after just four weeks of targeted intervention.

Headlines linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to ADHD and autism have caused years of parental anxiety. A comprehensive new Lancet analysis of 43 studies finally offers clarity—and the answer may surprise families who have been second-guessing basic pain relief decisions.

What if attention challenges aren't about willpower but brain chemistry that can actually change? New peer-reviewed research shows non-invasive neurostimulation can reshape the very brain activity patterns behind focus difficulties—offering fresh validation that the brain's attention circuits are remarkably trainable.

What if the same research-backed training that prepares literacy specialists could be available to every parent and teacher—for free? That's exactly what a major new initiative from Cox Campus is now offering across all 50 states.

Understanding How Reading Skills Develop Differently Reading is not a natural ability that some children simply have and others don’t. It’s a complex skill that must be explicitly taught, and for students developing reading skills differently, the teaching approach matters more than anything else. Research shows that the brain can build new neural pathways for […] The post Successful strategies for teaching dyslexic students appeared first on Learning Success.

Understanding Why Math Tests Feel Impossible When your child is building number sense differently than their peers, traditional math tests become an unfair measure of what they actually understand. The timed format, abstract symbols, and pressure-filled environment work against the way their brain processes numerical information. This isn’t about intelligence or effort—it’s about a mismatch […] The post What if my child can’t pass math tests or classes due to dyscalculia? appeared first on Learning Success.

Understanding Early Identification in the Classroom Teachers are often the first to notice when a child’s reading development takes a different path.
