Reading and Learning Processes Primer

Who's doing the research we follow?

  • National Reading Panel Report
  • American Federation of Teachers
  • National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
  • U.S. Department of Education
  • National Institute of Literacy

What does the research say about the reading process?

  • There are 5 reading and learning skills in the reading process.
  • All 5 skills can be taught.
  • All 5 skills must work in an integrated process. 

What does the research say about instruction?

  • Effective reading instruction involves explicit instruction in the reading process.  
  • High frequency of instruction can change underlying brain processes.
  • Developing readers can benefit from a direct and systematic instruction in these 5 processes.




Learning abilities acquired here are internalized.  A typical student leaves with intact learning processes, without the need for continued intervention or content tutoring.

 

"Thanks again for your contribution to my child's success story!   At each grading period of my daughter's school career, my thoughts go to Langsford...  She was able to achieve a 4.14 GPA this quarter in her Freshman year...  For a child who wasn't really reading until 3rd grade, this is a success story! She is reaching her potential and it is a joy to watch!"  Lynn, Parent & Public School Educator 

 

"...There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the great outcome (my son) has had from his time there. It has changed his life in so many ways. He is turning 17 Saturday and he is inviting about 11 kids over for a "Risk" tournament. Several new friends are on the list from school. It has helped him academically as well. He got all A's this quarter and is so confident now. ... Hope the word (about Langsford) continues to get out."  Marilyn

 

"The only place in town that does what you do!" Paula, daughter age 8, son 9.

"My son didn't need content tutoring, he needed to develop his reading skills.  Thank You!  Mary, son 10
 
"the programs make a life-altering difference...does not just address reading and language comprehension but overall (brain) functioning” - Ellen, son age 20
