When a student is below stanine 4 it is expected that during vacation break, the valuation points either drop or remain constant.

First test with Female Student with reading and writing disabilites. Great Progress and she has only been in the Rydaholm Method program since April 2010. Blue fields is below Stanine 4.

Second test with Male Student with ADHD, and he is doing progress.

Martin Ingvar is Professor at Karolinska Institute and chairman of the Swedish Dyslexia Association and scientific consult for the evaluation of the Rydaholm Method.

“The automaticity is the key. By practicing the basic elements the student with a reading difficulty can reach a level of automaticity where fluent and comprehensive reading is achieved.”

“You can certainly become a good reader through intensive training, despite reading disabilities / dyslexia.”

“The effects of dyslexia must not be a life-long verdict. The dyslexics reading capability just need more training than an average reader.”

“Dyslexia is a hereditary disability to master the written language. You can’t ‘cure’ dyslexia with training but you can alleviate the adverse effects.”

“Many dyslexics have developed compensatory methods to a degree where they no longer consider their dyslexia as a problem.”

“Even if a dyslexic person can manage well the problem with spelling, when it comes to switching to another language the problems will reappear.”

The Rydaholm Method is for students with reading disabilities. It requires a mutual commitment to conduct a long-term, purposeful and structured work during the necessary time to reach the goal. The method in itself is really simple but requires a high and clear engagement from the teacher.

“It’s like playing tennis, guitar or practicing high jump. Exercise energetically and you will get the result. And that’s when it becomes fun.”

We are looking for test students with Dyslexia in the Los Angeles area!

Even though we have 15 years of excellent test results from students in Sweden who have taken the Rydaholm Method, we need to have statistics in United States. There are test groups in Boston, Royal City and in Los Angeles; we are expanding our test base.

We need students between 7 and 11 years old, in the Los Angeles area. The training will take maximum 15 minutes, twice a week. A parent or teacher can be present at all time.

I am the daughter of the founder Karl-Erik Petersson and I am the one that will be coming to your school or home.

Send me an email if you are interested.

Rebecka, I wanted to let you know we are done with the 6 weeks testing and are thrilled with the results! All of our kids made some growth and our average of the 10 students is 8.9 pts! Our girl that struggled so much the day you were here is now doing all of the work in 15 minutes. She didn’t score high enough to make it on the chart but this time scored a 5.

Rebecka, individual growth went like this:

5th gr boy-20 pt growth, 51 wpm to 71 wpm
5th gr girl-8 pt growth, 32 wpm to 40 wpm
4th gr boy-18 pt growth, 43 wpm to 61 wpm
4th gr girl-21 pt growth, 40 wpm to 61 wpm
