Early Reading Intervention

The Science and Timing of Dyslexia Intervention

Research consistently shows that children who begin specialized reading intervention in Grade 2 make significantly faster progress than those who start later. This is because the brain’s capacity for language learning is at its peak, making it the ideal time to build strong reading foundations.

The Impact of Early Intervention

Early Intervention (Grade 2) 2X Faster Progress
Later Intervention (Grade 3+) Requires 100% More Time

The Neuroscience Behind It

A young brain is uniquely wired for learning.
See why acting early makes all the difference.

Neural Plasticity Peak

The brain’s ability to form new reading pathways is highest before age 8.

Synaptic Pruning

After age 8, the brain prunes unused connections, making rewiring harder.

Faster Rewiring

Young brains require 50% fewer repetitions to establish reading circuits.

5 Reasons Parents Wait to Seek Intervention

What If Waiting Isn’t Best for Your Child?

The Cost of Waiting:

It’s a frustrating paradox. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence. For children who do have dyslexia, relying on intelligence alone to overcome this processing difference can potentially lead to years of unnecessary struggles, self doubt and anxiety around school.

The Cost of Waiting:

Children often sense they are different when they see their friends reading with ease while they struggle. Without understanding why, they may start to feel “dumb” or “slow.” An assessment can replace those negative feelings with an empowering explanation, providing relief and a clear path forward.

The Cost of Waiting:

While it’s a hopeful thought, research shows that 88% of children who are poor readers in first grade are still poor readers in fourth grade. The “wait and see” approach often leads to a wider academic gap that becomes much harder and more stressful to close later on.

The Cost of Waiting:

It’s normal for parents to try accessible options first. However, these methods often don’t address the underlying processing difference. Continuing with ineffective strategies can waste time, money, and, most importantly, may impact your child’s confidence if they don’t see the progress they’re hoping for.

The Cost of Waiting:

Early intervention is often the most cost-effective approach. The financial and emotional investment in years of tutoring that might not address the core issue, along with the impact on a child’s confidence, typically adds up to more than investing upfront in a targeted program that fits their learning needs.

Dyslexia Assessment – Every Month Matters

An assessment can help to end the guesswork
and prevent years of struggle.

Get Clear Answers

End the “wait and see” cycle. Our assessment reveals exactly how your child’s brain processes reading.

Understand the Gap

We provide standardized scores showing where your child stands, critical information for choosing the right intervention.

Target the Right Support

Regular tutoring doesn’t work for dyslexia. Your child needs intervention designed for how their brain learns to read.
