Message from Ms. Tina L:

Thank you for having this program. 15 years ago I was in a bad car accident that left me with a closed head injury. Through counseling and help from my mom, I reached the place where I wanted to go back to college. Due to the head injury, I had forgotten or lost the biggest majority of what I learned in K-12 for math. Now that I’m working with a Vocational Rehabilitation to go back to school, my psychologist was recommended this site and the Voc Rehab paid for the program.

The Math Upgrade program offers a different way to learn and understand. I want to make a difference in this world instead of being different and this Math program is making all of the things I thought I lost, come back. I had problems with prime numbers, took a days rest and tried again and got it!!

I wouldn’t rate my knowledge of math past at least 8th grade level and this program is making my brain, that was so badly damaged, start to reconnect those lost pathways. I will brag on this program/website for as long as it is here. You and your team do make a difference even in a 37 year old going back to college to one day be a psychologist.

Many best wishes and best of luck,

Tina L

Reading Upgrade V2 Uses New Methods To Teach Students And Adults With Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 3, 2007 — Based on the results and feedback of thousands of students, teachers and parents around the world, Learning Upgrade has fined-tuned its popular online reading course, Reading Upgrade, to help students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities overcome reading blocks and effectively learn how to read.

Learning Upgrade found one of the keys to teaching students with dyslexia is to prevent the use of traditional coping methods such as memorization and guessing, which provide short term fixes rather than real, sustainable results.

Reading Upgrade Version 2 incorporates music, video, interactive games and randomization of questions and answer choices to create a fun, engaging and highly effective learning tool for all students and adult learners. Students with dyslexia, ADD and other special needs find that Reading Upgrade works where other methods fail because Reading Upgrade is able to fully engage the student and make learning fun.
