Training Options Offered
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

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

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, with
an optional choice to train for a full 6 weeks.

New students will train in the first Core Cognitive Skill
Builder Program. And former students may train in all
other programs.


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 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
.
The Reading Lab:
Optimising learning through neuroscience...
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.
