Children with a variety of learning and reading disorders often have timing disruptions in the brain. They may also have difficulty clapping and tapping to a beat.
These timing issues in reading can be overcome with Struggling Readers’ program,Reading Thru Rhythm and Songs, while you sing and play metronome games together.

Helping people to become literate means catching them while they are young and augmenting their learning so that they get the tools they need to become literate. As the years go by we need to continue to give them the tools they need to expand their abilities.
