Learning Tools for Kids & Adults

Joan Brennan has spent much of her 15-year teaching career observing and investigating the best ways to aid children with special needs to improve their reading abilities. For a child, teen, or adult with a learning difference (ADD, ADHD, autism, low vision, stroke recovery, TBI or other issues), participating in regular classroom, work or other activities without a tool can mean that reading is very difficult. Some struggling readers are even faced with the compounding problem of dyslexia.    

With this in mind, the Reading Focus Card (Patent 7,565,759) was created. This educational reading aid for kids and adults utilizes years of professional educational experience in working with special reading challenges. The results have been successful improvement in reading and aid in comprehension skills for both kids and adults. Learning tools for those with focus problems need to be designed to help children, adolescents, and young adults overcome ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disorders. As a result, challenged readers will have a better chance of acquiring improved reading skills like fluency and comprehension.

Reading & Learning Tools

Parents who begin to read to their newborn child find that it will help the baby begin to learn. For preschoolers who are accustomed to educational trips to the library with their parents, learning becomes a "fun" activity. Reading aloud is an invaluable activity for increasing fluency in school kids, and it becomes a learning tool for new vocabulary. Teaching reading skills begins with very basic phonics for toddlers, followed by oral reading for school-aged children. The most difficult steps come when teaching and learning strategies for focus, comprehension, retention, vocabulary, and grammar. 

Children and adults diagnosed with learning disorders and other reading challenges often associated with attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, autism, low vision, stroke recovery, TBIs and other issues require a different set of tools. Kids, teens, and adults who have difficulty focusing, need specially designed, effective, and powerful educational tools to aid them with reading and learning in all content areas of educational instruction.

What to Look for in an Educational Tool or Aid for Kids & Adults

Children and adults with attention deficiencies need tools to help focus on individual words. It is difficult for them to first focus to read a full sentence and then process its correct meaning. Many basic, educational methods fail to provide 3 basic parameters needed to aid struggling readers to succeed. First, a reading aid for kids and adults must help them focus more easily on a specific part of a page. Second, the tool should allow them to concentrate on individual words. Third, such a device needs to encourage the eye to move easily from left to right and from one line of text to another. 

The Reading Focus Card is a reading aid that helps kids and adults of any age achieve all three. The Reading Focus Card is also an effective learning tool for kids and adults who need special reading aids and learning strategies in order to focus their attention on printed material at hand and the exact meaning of that material.
