Reading, Writing, Math
The 3 R’s, Reading, wRiting & aRithmetic, are the backbone to academic success. We understand how vital these school subjects are and how important they are to you, the parent. When they are not grasped at the foundational level, your child gets further behind, and frustration and discouragement set in.
At GeerLINKS, we offer individual sessions to support students who are not yet proficient in reading, writing or math. We address these areas of need in NILD Educational Therapy® and also with individualized Rx Sessions.
After our initial screening assessment, our team may recommend these Rx sessions as a suitable intervention for your child.
Our Rx for Reading, Rx 4 Math, and Rx for Writing sessions are ideal for students who do not have a psycho-educational assessment or a learning disability diagnosis but would benefit from support to strengthen one of these academic skills.
Rx is most known as the symbol for a medical prescription. And these are prescriptive sessions where our therapists address the foundational skills required for your child to succeed in these subjects.
The therapist will use your child’s initial screening assessment to identify their weak areas and guide your child to apply strategies for success.
Our Rx sessions use the proven NILD methods of mediation, Socratic questioning, and dialogue to strengthen your child’s thinking skills while building their reading, writing or math skills.
At GeerLINKS, we believe in the power of this intervention, but also realize the importance of individual NILD Educational Therapy® when there are more significant areas of weakness as identified in a psycho-educational assessment. Since our Rx sessions are individualized, they often serve as a stepping stone into educational therapy or as a follow up to educational therapy,
Improve your child’s math, reading and/or writing skills.
Rx for Reading gave my son confidence and helped him develop a love of reading. I never dreamed he would beg to stay up at night to read one more chapter. Thanks to the therapist at GeerLINKS and this program, he has become a reader, and it such a blessing to us as parents.
RX PROGRAMS OFFERED
Rx for Reading
Learning to read involves a network of brain connections working in tandem to make the magic happen. It has been proven that teaching reaching requires explicit and systematic instruction. In this small group intervention, your child will discover the wonder of reading as they build and strengthen the five pillars of language into a language braid – phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

Learning to write is such hard work. It involves so many language and thinking processes working together. In this small group intervention, your child’s writing challenges will be addressed as they build and strengthen grammar and writing mechanics, semantics, syntax, and composition. All through the power of mediation!

Math is such an important part of your child’s everyday life. Developing mathematical understanding is key to success.

I would absolutely not hesitate to sign your child up for the Rx for Math Program. After one year of sessions, our daughter has gained the confidence she needs to approach math equations. We feel it has opened new connections in her brain. She’s on a roll now! Her recall has improved, allowing for a boost to her working memory issues. We are so grateful for this program.
