“Poor Reading Skills is a Life Sentence

Literacy is a Life Long Opportunity

DFYL Can Make the Difference”

The Literacy Problem is Huge

Reading and Rhythm is positively impacting reading skills through rhythm, building fluency, comprehension and confidence.

  • 67% of 4th graders cannot read at a basic level
  • 85% of Juveniles are considered functioning illiterate
  • 10% of high school graduates can not read
  • 21% of US adults read below the 5th grade level

Doubtful Internal Voice®

Struggling readers have what we call the “Doubtful Internal Voice®”, which The Reading & Rhythm program turns into the “I Got This” Voice.

We are making a BIG IMPACT with Literacy and Mental Health.
How do we do it? We use a strong assertive rhythm that creates a neural pathway for focus and concentration while diffusing the Doubtful Internal Voice® and diminishing anxiety.

UCLA Statistical Analysis: Testing results of 293 children show that fluency increases by 55% for those receiving the R&R Program. The program also results in 20% increase in comprehension for a 4th grade student group in 4 weeks.
