Reading Adventures EBLI Lite vs Dyslexia Screening Test App

Overview -------- Welcome to the lite version of EBLI Island, which gives you a sample of EBLI instruction to teach early reading through activities incorporated in 2 stories. Purchase the full version and gain access to over 16 stories and hours of fun activities that effectively teach beginning reading and beyond. Below is a complete description of the app: Learning to read and write has never been so fun! EBLI’s initial app is designed for beginning readers, starting as early as age 3. Children (up to 6 at a time per app) engage in EBLI’s Island Adventure as they learn through research-based reading activities that contain the revolutionary EBLI instructional methodology. Parents and teachers will find that EBLI’s multi-sensory instruction through learning activities and games will greatly accelerate children’s reading. The app takes place on EBLI Island where learners have to complete a series of activities across 16 stories to gather secret powered gems and unlock EBLI characters. EBLI Island teaches the sounds for each letter through instruction in words and moves to reading sentences. Writing letters properly is learned through prompts from Peterson Handwriting. Motivational reinforcement is accomplished through rewards earned as they move through the activities. The EBLI activities in the app are designed to teach the sounds that go with letter(s), the correct process for writing letters, and practice reading text to reinforce critical skills and concepts for beginning readers. The app includes three activities, which include: - Say and Pull - Peterson Handwriting - Fluency Training As the stories progress, the foundational skills and concepts taught in the earlier stories are continually built and expanded upon. For this reason, the level of the stories moves from simple to complex. As the stories progress students are given the opportunity to learn, reinforce, and expand upon what they have learned in previous stories. Skills and Concepts ------------------- The skills and concepts taught in EBLI Reading Adventures for Beginning Readers include: Skills - Segmenting: pulling sounds apart - Blending: pushing sounds together - Peterson Handwriting: correct letter formation - Fluency: reading smoothly with inflection Concepts - Words are made up of sounds - Teaching the most common spelling for each sound (each 1 letter spelling has a sound that it most commonly represents) - Words must be read from left to right - Letters must be written from top to bottom, and from left to right - 1, 2, 3, or 4 letters can spell 1 sound - Repetition of what was learned in order for learner to become accurate and automatic - Progressing to reading smoothly while accurately reading all the words About EBLI ---------- The EBLI System EBLI Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction was created in 2003 and is a system that teaches learners of all ages and ability levels to reach their highest potential in reading. EBLI has been implemented in over 200 schools and has been continuously refined through training and coaching thousands of classroom teachers, community tutors, and remedial reading specialists. EBLI was developed from what research has shown to be necessary to teach anyone of any ability level to reach their highest potential in reading and writing as well as from over a decade of working individually with clients of all ages and ability levels at Ounce of Prevention Reading Center in Flushing, MI.

Are You Dyslexic? Why Wait and Wonder? Let the Dyslexia Screening Test App from Neurolearning show you how you think and learn, and get you started on the road to a successful future. Our Dyslexia Screening Test quickly and accurately lets users ages 7 to 70 who have not previously received intensive dyslexia-appropriate reading instruction be screened for signs of the thinking and processing traits associated with dyslexia. The initial app download gives users access to the following free content: --The MIND-Strengths self-assessment surveys (for ages 7 and older), which allow users to discover their relative abilities in 4 key strengths areas associated with dyslexia --5 short videos describing what dyslexia is and is not, common signs of dyslexia, and what our screener can do for users --A brief pre-test to determine if you might be at risk for dyslexia --Comments by previous users on their experience with our app To take the dyslexia screener requires an in-app purchase of a testing slot. ---- The Neurolearning Dyslexia Screening Test App measures several key brain functions that underlie reading and spelling skills, and that work differently in individuals with dyslexia. It combines these measures with an assessment of current reading skills to determine the likelihood that the test user is experiencing challenges at school or work related to dyslexia. After the screening, users are provided with a detailed and individualized report of their results. This report includes: - A Total Dyslexia Score, which measures the overall likelihood that any problems they have with reading and spelling are related to dyslexia - Six Dyslexia Subscale Scores, which measure the key brain processing functions that underlying dyslexia-related challenges - Detailed and individualized recommendations outlining steps that can be taken to improve performance and limit challenges at school or work - A detailed list of resources that can be used to implement the recommendations - Recommendations on when further professional assessment is needed ---- Who should use the Neurolearning Dyslexia Screening App? Students 7 or older who: - Struggle to read, write, or spell - Have siblings or parents with dyslexia or other learning challenges - Read slowly or avoid reading - Underperform their apparent ability and “can’t show what they know” - Take longer to complete work or tests than expected - Struggle more each year as the workload intensifies - Received an unclear or confusing screening result at school Adults up to age 70 who: - Currently struggle with reading, writing, or speaking - Underperform at work for unclear reasons - Struggled in school but were never tested - Have never enjoyed reading, read slowly, or struggle when reading aloud - Have dyslexic children or grandchildren and recognize similar features in themselves ---- Neurolearning’s mission is to bring quality dyslexia testing within everyone's reach. For 20 years Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide have tested countless individuals with learning differences from all over the world in their Neurolearning Clinic in Seattle, Washington. They’ve also promoted better assessment and understanding of different learners through their influential books (“The Mislabeled Child” (2006) and the internationally best-selling book, "The Dyslexic Advantage" (2011)), and by the formation of the non-profit organization Dyslexic Advantage in 2012. The Eides are also frequent invited lecturers at conferences and meetings around the world, have been visiting lecturers at leading schools of education including Stanford University and Hunter College. In 2014 the Eides joined with pioneering technologist and entrepreneur Nils Lahr to found Neurolearning SPC, and to bring quality testing for learning differences within everyone’s reach.
