Turkish Prep

Reading and writing are the most basic building blocks in a child's academic life. However, for some children, combining letters, recognizing words and reading fluently can be a much more difficult challenge than their peers. As a parent, you may be worried if your child skips lines while reading, makes up words, confuses letters such as "b" and "d", or has difficulty understanding what he is reading. Most of the time, this isn't about the child's intelligence or "not working hard enough"; It is linked to differences in the brain's information processing processes, especially Specific Learning Disability (Dyslexia). The constant feeling of failure experienced by the child in this process can lead to a loss of self-confidence and a serious reluctance towards school over time.

While traditional education methods recommend only giving "more reading practice" to a child with reading difficulties, PREP (Pass Reading Enhancement Program - Reading Development Program) focuses on the real source of the problem, that is, the cognitive foundations. Famous cognitive psychologist J.P. Developed by Das and based on the PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous and Postprocessing) cognitive theory, this program is based on how the brain processes information. PREP specifically aims to develop "Simultaneous" (perceiving parts as a whole) and "Successive" (processing information sequentially) cognitive processing skills, which are vital for decoding reading. Our aim is not to force the child to read repeatedly, but to strengthen the mental muscles that enable reading.

The PREP process, which is implemented in our clinic with the help of experts, consists of fun and structured activities in which children are not afraid of their mistakes. Programın en güçlü yanı, çocuğa okuma kurallarını doğrudan ezberletmek yerine, "tümevarımsal" bir yolla keşfettirmesidir. The child learns to develop his own strategy and to recognize and correct mistakes when performing carefully designed mental tasks (e.g., arranging visual shapes or solving spatial relationships). This method increases word recognition speed, strengthens the letter-sound relationship, and ultimately goes beyond mechanical reading and maximizes reading comprehension skills.

Remember, reading difficulty or dyslexia is not an unsolvable problem or a mental deficiency; It's just an indication that the brain needs a different way of learning. With PREP, you can provide a scientific, structured and targeted answer to your child's need; You can help him make peace with letters and books, achieve the success he deserves in school life, and most importantly, regain his damaged self-confidence.
