Training Options Offered
The Reading Lab admits students in grades K-12 who are in need of language
and/or reading development or improvement. To attend Lab sessions,
students must be capable of handling a small group session utilizing
computer-assisted software and print materials and be able to understand and
speak English.

There are three specialized training options offered at The Reading Lab, each
designed to match the academic needs of the children we serve.
Program and Training Options

I. On-Site Lab Clinic Training : After School Session 2010-2011

Students attend training sessions at The Reading Lab after school during the regular school year
between mid-September and mid-May. They must enroll no later than mid-March to ensure enough
time to complete the training.

For the required Cognitive Skill Builder training, new students train:
  • 50 minutes a day, 4 days a week, for approximately 6-10 weeks for each Core Course

For additional training on all other programs:
  • 50 minutes a day, for 4 days a week, or 90 minutes a day for 2 days a week

II. On-Site Lab Clinic Training: Summer Camp Session 2011

The popular Summer Camp Session is held at The Reading Lab for 3 weeks during either June or July
each year. Sessions run 2.5 hours a day, 4 days a week.

New students will train in the first Core Cognitive Skill Builder Program. And former students may
train in all other programs except The Listening Program, which is only available for at home use.


III. Off-Site At Home Training : After School or Summer Session

To help families who are unable to attend training sessions at The Reading Lab, we offer the
opportunity to train at home. This option is especially useful for students who cannot function in a
small group setting or who live too far from the Lab to make the daily commute.

This option is offered during the regular school year between mid-September and mid-May and
between mid-May and mid-July in the summer.

A 'parent coach' is trained to monitor the student's daily sessions, and the Lab Staff monitor's the work
remotely via the Internet each day. Our research shows that children who train at home make the
same exceptional gains as those who train on-site at the Lab. (Not all programs are offered for At Home
Training. Check with the Lab for details.)

For the required Cognitive Skill Builder training, new students train:
  • 50 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  for approximately 8-16 weeks     

For preparatory or follow-up: The Listening Program, Reading Skill Training, Cognitive Skill
Booster, or Reading Fluency Training:
  • 30-50 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  for maximum of  20 weeks

              Meet Patricio

He's a 5th grade student from Mexico
City. With his mom as his 'Parent
Coach', he successfully completed his
required training from home and is
currently working on advanced reading
skills provided by and remotely
monitored by The Reading Lab.

He's just one of many students who have
discovered how to get positive results,
even though they may live too far away
to attend classes at the Lab.
