LearnAbility's Specialized Approach
LearnAbility incorporates the fundamental principles of the Science of Reading (SOR). We employ a structured literacy teaching approach that emphasizes explicit and systematic instruction in phonology, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This approach is especially beneficial to children with Learning Disabilities, who have difficulties in decoding words, spelling, and reading comprehension.
The structured literacy approach provides a structured and cumulative path to learning that builds on students' prior knowledge and gradually introduces new concepts. For 19 years, LearnAbility has provided an effective way to help children with Learning Disabilities & other students who need explicit and systematic instruction in reading & writing.

I have been taking my children to LearnAbility for almost 2 years. They do awesome work and have had the ability to make my children flourish in their school work. They have one on one tutoring that focuses mainly on my child. Be it reading, writing, comprehension or projects from any subject and math. The tutors of LearnAbility give my children the confidence and courage to do their work. They let my children see their light and make it shine bright! S.P
Reading Comprehension
Reading Comprehension is among one of the hardest skills to teach. It requires more than reading and asking questions. Reading Comprehension can be impacted by any number of things including: attention, memory, processing or dyslexia. We have a formula for building comprehension that was developed from years of research, observation and implementation. Our students learn to think and understand differently. Although there are a variety of strategic approaches used for building reading comprehension, one of our most common offerings is Visualizing and Verbalizing.

Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Development
Research has shown that children who struggle with phonological awareness are more likely to experience difficulties in reading and writing. Phonological awareness is a key foundational skill that supports the development of other literacy skills, such as decoding, spelling, and comprehension. LearnAbility staff are trained in and integrate the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing program and the Lindamood Seeing Stars program.

Written Expression
Written expression is a fundamental skill that is essential for success in both personal and professional life. At LearnAbility, students learn clarity and concision, choosing the right words to convey their message accurately and effectively. They learn proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling. Fluent written expression requires foundational and structured skill development.
