Research in Reading A Key Component to Successful Outcomes
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. children in 3rd – 4th grade cannot read efficiently for functional understand and comprehension (Wolf, Reader Come Home, 7/2018). This is a dismal statistic and one that demands a better way of teaching than is currently in place. At Dyslexia Therapy of Pittsburgh, we use the latest reading research to drive our interventions. Additionally, we have advanced certifications in reading facilitation and methodology, well beyond graduate level studies.
To greater understand the depth of reading knowledge that Dyslexia Therapy of Pittsburgh holds, please view the example book cited above by Maryanne Wolf, Reader, Come Home. Her book is research heavy and to show her credibility, check out her CV at Maryanne Wolf’s CV.
