Language Tune-Up Kit®

Parents
Your child has probably endured many reading challenges in school or at home. As a parent, you want your child to
succeed at reading--it's the basis for achieving success in all study areas. A typical non-reader has dyslexia or some form
of learning disability. In fact, 15% of the general population at large fits into this category. Your challenge may be that the
school is not adequately prepared to teach your child at a remedial level. Many schools do not provide the necessary
teacher training required to address the needs of your child's reading deficiency. At first grade and later, remedial reading
classes typically do not exist. So, you need an alternative that you can trust that will teach your child the basics of reading so
that he or she can become successful in their educational journey.

By using the Language Tune-Up Kit® Family versions, you can provide the skills your child needs to become a proficient
reader. This training can be delivered in your own home. You can monitor your child's progress while they use the program.
You will see a marked increase in his or her self-esteem as reading skills are developed with each lesson. Your child will
become a successful reader. He/she will no longer be frustrated and think of themselves as "being dumb".

Teachers
You are challenged with the task of providing remedial reading instruction to one or more students. Each student currently
reads at a different grade level, and each has his or her own level of proficiency in learning the basic skills of reading. If you
have been fortunate enough to have been trained in the Orton-Gillingham method, you already know that it is a major
challenge to teach remedial reading to multiple students in a single classroom environment. If you do not have Orton-
Gillingham training, your task is overwhelming. The good news is that by using the Language Tune-Up Kit For Schools, you
can address each student's unique needs and learning styles. The LTK Management System allows you to determine
areas of weakness and to provide specific intervention with skills students are having the most difficulty with.

You will know that each student will have his or her unique needs met. As each student learns at their own pace, you can
deliver tailored assistance on an exception basis to address their specific needs. You can confidently discuss student
progress with parents and administration. Your IEPs will have "teeth" that all parties can agree to. Reports will provide
documented evidence of student progress.

Students
Students who face the world with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, typically have higher than average IQ levels. Thus,
they develop "coping strategies". For example, they may be able to recognize the shape of words and memorize them. The
best they can achieve is a fourth or fifth grade reading level. Then they are lost. Most students, however, face a much greater
struggle. They are unable to decode and "sound out" even the most basic and common words. Reading is work. As a
consequence, their confidence and self esteem is low. They begin to "act up" in class and exhibit behavioral problems.

A typical reading-deficient student has at least one of the following characteristics:

Is a child age 6 or older who is having difficulty or has not learned to read by grade 2.
Is an adult or teenager whose reading skills have never developed or are at an elementary reading level and has the
desire to acquire reading and spelling skills.
Is learning disabled or dyslexic.
Is an employee that needs to know how to read to survive in the workplace.
Is seeking remedial help for English as a second language (ESL).

The Language Tune-Up Kit Curriculum:

Our original goal was to develop a program for students with developmental reading disorders, also known as dyslexia,
and to target the reading and spelling level rather than the age or grade level of the student. This program is not limited to
students with diagnosed learning difficulties. It is appropriate for all individuals who need a multi sensory phonics
approach in order to learn to read and spell. This can include some individuals who are learning English as a second
language. Students who complete all 87 lessons will be able to read at the eighth-to-ninth grade level.
