Edublox Reading and Learning Clinics

Most of us take for granted the amazing processes that happen in our brains. Every bit of information, every question, and each fragment of sensory input is processed at lightning speed so that we can analyse, integrate, decide, answer and learn.

Struggling learners are often let down by these automatic processes. The ease of understanding new information that should have been normal becomes difficult. Learning that should have been easy is a frustrating effort. Reading that should have been effortless is a slow, embarrassing trial.¹ Other problems may include:

• Inattention or loss of focus
• Reversal of letters and/or numbers
• Spelling difficulties
• Difficulty with homework
• Falling behind in class, sometimes even with special help or tutoring.

Edublox Classes Can Change
Your Child’s Life!

Edublox clinics specialise in brain training that makes children smarter, and helps them learn and read faster, easier, and better.

Features

• Our methods are the end-result of 30 years’ experience in practice, and the combined effort of 50 years of intensive research about reading and learning.

• An assessment enables us to determine the causes of the learner’s reading or learning difficulties, and to decide on a course of action.

• A safe, fun and challenging environment is created to ensure optimal learning.

• A balance between one-on-one computer training and small group instruction is maintained, as well as between brain-training exercises and application in the form of reading and spelling exercises.

• Sustainable quality of lessons is guaranteed as they are recorded on video and trainers are given regular feedback on their performances.

• Studiblox, a 15-hour course on study techniques and study methods can be attended as a follow-up, once learners have overcome their reading and learning difficulties.

Benefits

• Sharpens attention and concentration, develops accurate perception, improves memory and promotes logical thinking.

• Improves reading, spelling and writing. Even learners who are seriously dyslexic can be helped to overcome their problems completely.

• Can increase IQ by up to 10 IQ points.

• Improves school grades. Average achievers and even poor achievers often become their schools’ top achievers.

• Improves self-esteem, self-image and interpersonal communication.

• Creates a basis for life-long learning.

Commentaries

As parents of Kyle we wish to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff at Edublox for the excellent help that you have provided Kyle over the past year. When we came to you in May last year, after Kyle had been at another extra-mural learning facility for almost two years previously, we were really very concerned about our son’s future educational and emotional progress.

Within less than a one year period at Edublox, Kyle has progressed from a borderline failure pupil to an “A” achiever. His first term Grade 3 report in 2010 consisted mainly of 2’s and a few 3’s, however by the end of the year he mainly had 3’s and a few 4’s. Then came the first term in Grade 4 this year and he achieved 4’s in all his subjects. My wife and I had tears in our eyes. His interim results for the second term have also indicated the same trend as for the first.

I have never seen such a remarkable change in a student like I have in Matthew. Last year he could not spell, I could not make out anything he wrote, his phonics skills were non-existent and the words he wrote could not be made out at all. He could not write coherent simple sentences. I could only ask him to read a few simple words during class reading as I did not want to embarrass him in front of the class. He was shy, non-communicative and never participated in class.

This year not only can he spell, but he can write sentences, paragraphs, diary entries, book reviews, and anything else that is required. He reads full paragraphs in front of the class without hesitating on every word.

The most remarkable change though, is in himself as a person. He walks taller, he speaks with confidence, he participates in class discussions, and his hand is up first to answer every question I ask in class. He has become a strong class leader and I can count on him to carry out anything I need doing. — Mrs. Carol Smith, Teacher.

Her marks had always been average, but to achieve that we had to work extremely hard. I had to sit with her every afternoon for hours to complete unfinished work. Test weeks were a veritable nightmare. I had to teach her everything orally because her reading was so poor. All the story books that I had bought for her stood on the shelf, or else I had to read them to her.

Imagine my surprise when she came home with her first report this year. After the first few sessions at the Reading Clinic her marks moved up to above average, and we started doing a lot less work in the afternoons. She manages to finish all her work now and easily learns by herself for her tests. This has made an incredible difference. Another important aspect is that she enjoys these sessions. She looks forward to going, whereas previously she was already so bored with doing the same eye exercises over and over, this is now something different and she enjoys it — it does not feel like therapy at all. — Hesti Geldenhuys.

A year has passed since she started with the Edublox classes and major improvements were achieved in various areas. Due to the excellent results accomplished to date, we decided to continue with the Edublox classes although she no longer needs help.— Mrs Combrinck.
