Reading and Speaking Therapy
My Learning Therapy for RSD (Reading and Spelling Difficulties)
Are you familiar with that: Every day starts with your child when it comes to reading or writing. After arduous persuasion and endless discussion, one reads or writes. You need to know that your child doesn't understand that you only want to help, and you're afraid that by refusing to do so, they'll miss out on important information they need for school, education, and their own personal development.
Language is part of our life. Every child has its own distinct developmental path. It's the same with the LRS, everyone expresses themselves differently. Some even develop a general fear of school or strange behavior, sometimes the experiences of failure cloud the entire family climate.
Never compare one child with the other, because people do not grow at their destination, but on the way there.
Dealing with RSD
Every day I support and strengthen families to find their own way of dealing with LRS, and to implement the individually developed solutions and to strengthen their knowledge and self-confidence, leading to more ease and joy in the family.
My goal is to lead young and old to a sense of achievement when learning. To explore ways with parents and teachers how they can accompany the children and young people in their learning in order to (re)discover the joy of learning.
Due to our hectic everyday life, we forget that the German language is sometimes difficult even for us adults, and we don't think about how our children fare.
How to Recognize a Reading/Spelling Disability?
Have you observed one or more of the following difficulties in your child?
-
The formation of simple word rhymes, the correct naming of letters is difficult?
-
The reading speed is very low and you have problems understanding texts?
-
When reading or writing, letters or parts of words are left out, mixed up or added?
-
Sounds that sound similar (e.g. d and t) can hardly be distinguished?
-
Difficult words are always misspelled in a different way?
-
Consonant doublings (e.g. mm, tt, nn), elongations (e.g. ah, eh, aa) or upper and lower case letters cause problems?
-
Texts are learned by heart, especially factual texts and assignments.
Trusting Learning Consists of the Following Process Steps:
-
Preliminary discussion and explanation of the issue, your goals and expectations.
-
45 minutes of intensive practice and 15 minutes of easy learning games make up one lesson.
-
Individual support takes place individually or in small groups, where you feel understood and can support each other.
-
The learning progress is constantly brought into awareness in order to maintain motivation over the long term.
-
Develop common goals
-
As much fun as possible is used in this demanding project!
What Do We Look at in Learning Therapy at RSD?
-
First we examine your experiences with the subject of LRS and work out a (new) attitude. In this way you learn how it is possible to conjure up more motivation and joy in learning in your child from "zero buck" and thus gradually tame his inner learning blockades.
-
We do value work, because values carry the inner learning attitude. Your values and your personality.
-
Once the basis has been created, we go step by step through everyday learning, building on the school material so that there are no further gaps in knowledge. You and your child will discover what they are made of and thereby strengthen their self-esteem.
-
We look at fundamental themes and detect obstacles to learning and work with learning-promoting strategies and rituals that also make learning easier at home. You will learn to recognize and practice regularities in the German language until you can safely apply what you have learned.
-
Again and again we will awaken the love for the written word together. Along the way, you'll discover its power to share information and as a source of stories and fun.
-
We learn how it is possible for you and your child to say goodbye once and for all to the fear that causes the feeling of being totally overwhelmed, exam anxiety and learning blocks.
-
During the counseling period, you have the opportunity to keep in touch with me by e-mail and telephone.
