A Dyslexic’s Transformation Over Six Months

Testimonial by Kitty Venter

Pedri (a Grade 6 learner) had been diagnosed as dyslexic. His reading ability was on a Grade 2, second-semester level. He underachieved in Maths, his concentration was poor, he had a spelling problem, poor self-esteem, perceptual problems and his memory was poor.

Reading and spelling have improved tremendously. Previously I had to read aloud all his schoolwork. After having done Audiblox for 6 months he virtually studied on his own for this exam. He had made so much progress that he was now ready to attend extra Maths classes. His concentration and memory have improved as well as his self-esteem. At this point in time reversals in numbers are virtually non-existent, while there are no more reversals in spelling. For the first time in his school career he received a merit prize — it was for Geography — for obtaining an average of more than 80%.

Reading is still not on grade level but we will prevail!
