Are your students' brains prepared for learning to read? Brain research from the science of reading has shown that before learning to read, students need to have for example, good phonemic awareness.
Our evidence based, online Reading Readiness program is at your service.
The science of reading is doing wonders for increasing literacy rates in K-2 in Australia. But how can we help those students who haven't had that benefit?
Our evidence based, online program can improve your reading and literacy rates by 1-2 years in as little as 40-60 hours of use.
What happens when learning to read at school is only becoming more challenging?
We know from the science of reading that our brains did not evolve to read.
Our evidence based, online program develops their cognitive and language skills so you can give them results - faster.
Speech therapists/pathologists, psychologists and natural health practitioners:
Developing their auditory processing skills while they are on your waiting list, or as they begin working with you increases their ability to understand and communicate with you more confidently.
APD is not a hearing problem, so people who have it are likely to pass hearing tests. It has more to do with how efficiently a brain can process sound, especially the sounds of speech, or phonemes.
If a child has APD while acquiring speech, their brain may not have been able to clearly distinguish and map phonemes effectively. This can make matching sounds to letters difficult when they learn to read. Weaker cognitive skills such as attention, working memory and sequencing can also manifest in a number of ways:
APD disrupts learning, reading and communication.
APD IS BEHIND MANY LEARNING CHALLENGES LIKE DYSLEXIA AND AUTISM
Brain research has come a long way since the advent of fMRI and other brain imaging technologies in the 1990s.
We now know that the brain is more adaptable than we thought - even into old age. Books like The Brain That Changes Itself by Dr Norman Doidge and Reading in the Brain by Stanislas DeHaene have shattered old paradigms.
The science of reading is a body of neuroscience research that education departments all over the world are using to change the way reading is being taught. In Australia, NSW began using this evidence-based research in K-2 reading instruction to lift plummeting literacy rates from 2023.
Armed with this research and online technology, we can also help people with a brain injury, like stroke, recover their language skills.
NEUROSCIENCE ANALYSES THE GROWTH OF NEURAL PATHWAYS IN THE BRAIN

Hi, I'm Monique and I am on a mission to increase awareness about auditory processing disorder (APD) and the neuroscience research and technology that can improve our ability to learn. Why?
My son had APD at school which made learning a painful experience for him. While he started Kindergarten on par with his peers, by Year 3 he was avoiding school work, especially reading, and was not finishing tasks. We tried speech therapy, tutoring and behavioural optometry, all of which helped, but he was avoiding the work and beginning to refuse altogether.
My research brought me to the book The Brain That Changes Itself by Dr Norman Doidge. It introduced me to APD and the amazing neuroscience research and technology that talked about how our brains can physically change. I found an evidence based, online program called Fast ForWord and was pleased with the benefits for him.
A couple of years after, I worked with a Sydney speech pathologist and supported many families also doing Fast ForWord. The results spoke volumes, so bringing it to my own area of greater western Sydney was the next step.
Learning is how we adapt and survive. Often children avoid it because learning has become painful. If they continue to avoid it, they can lock themselves out of opportunities to learn, grow and contribute.
I met Monique through a local networking group at the beginning of this year.
I was struck by her passion and knowledge in the area of learning processes and difficulties. She shared with me her own story of having a son who had learning difficulties at school and how motivated she was to find out how she could better support him.

Monique has an incredible thirst for knowledge and has taught me a great deal about brain plasticity, learning styles and challenges and some of the latest technology and programs available. Every time I talk to Monique I learn something which helps me in my role as a speech therapist.
I have referred a couple of my own clients to Monique because I felt her holistic approach to learning and her knowledge and coaching methods would be more beneficial than speech therapy alone. In each case the parents could not speak highly enough of Monique and were delighted to see the positive results for their child in all areas of learning, their behaviour and self confidence at school and at home.
I would highly recommend Monique to assist children and adults with learning challenges. She is an extremely gifted and enthusiastic learning coach.
