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 training options offered at The Reading Lab, each designed to
match the academic needs of the children we serve.

I. On-Site Lab 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.

For the required Cognitive Skill Builder training, they may train either :
  • 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week,  for approximately 18 weeks,
  • 40 minutes a day, 4 days a week,  for approximately 14 weeks,
  • 50 minutes a day, 4 days a week,  for approximately 11 weeks, or
  • 90 minutes a day, 4 days a week,  for approximately 7 weeks.
Because no two learners are alike, they may continue their training on a month to month basis as needed.

II. Off-Site At Home Training : After School 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-July. (Not all programs are offered for At Home
training. Check with the Lab for details.)

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.

For the required Cognitive Skill Builder training, they may train either:
  • 30 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  for approximately 18 weeks
  • 40 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  for approximately 14 weeks, or
  • 50 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  for approximately 11 weeks
Because no two learners are alike, they may continue their training on a month to month basis as needed.

For preparatory or follow-up The Listening Program, Reading Skill, or Fluency Training:
  • 30-50 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week,  11-20 weeks

III. On-Site Lab Training: Summer Camp Session
The popular Summer Session is held at The Reading Lab for 6 weeks during June & July each year.
Sessions run 2 hours a day, 4 days a week, with an optional 7th week for extended training. Both new
and former students may attend Summer Session, and all programs except The Listening Program are
available. (TLP is only available for at home use.)
