This adorable young man (7 years old) went through IM about 6 months ago. He completed 20 - 25 sessions this past summer. Just before he started 2nd grade this year, his reading scored at the kindergarten level! In IM, we don't teach reading, we just prepare the brain to process information so the child can learn to read. I received this note from his mom today.:
"A----- is doing good in school. He has been able to catch up to the class average in the area of sight words and doing MUCH better with reading. I have worked with the school to get him into a special program that gives him small group and one-on-one learning to get him caught up with his basic reading skills. And according to my most recent parent-teacher conference it shows that what we are doing is working very well. He still has the occassionally off day but we have far more good behavior days then bad. He also visits with the school counselor once a week after he had an incident where a few kids in his class were bullying him. He still does not have the self confidence I'd like him to have at this point. BUT things are so much better.
I still believe very much in the power of IM and would still like for him to get a refresher over the summer.
Thank you so much for what you do and sharing it with my family.
Sincerely,
K--- S---"
