In November we told you about our collaboration with Rangsby School where Isa Blomqvist-Fagerholm is a special education teacher and Ödkarby school there Emma Nylund is a special education teacher in Saltvik on Åland. Ten students in 11–12 years old trains with Imvi Labs .
The ten students correspond to approx. 20% of students in sixth grade. The schools selected students for whom they had previously made extensive reading efforts, but without achieving any major results . Tests showed that Nine of the students had vision problems before the training. This is a likely explanation for why previous interventions have not been effective.
After just six weeks of training, Isa said they saw “ improvements in the students’ spelling, confidence, and self-esteem.” Emma also said that “The students have gotten better reading fluency , reading is less choppy and they are less tired when reading, and that the students themselves have said that they can read more.
After 12 weeks, reading speed has increased by 43%, a further improvement from 31% after 6 weeks.
" About the students had trained previous with Imvi , so we had saved a lot special education teacher time with measures which were not effective . The livers had moreover missed spending time on these efforts and could instead have followed more of the regular teaching and had received improved self-confidence . ”
Isa and Emma chose to start with sixth grade students to give them the best possible conditions for high school. The plan is to Now start training students in earlier grades.
How our training helps students with reading difficulties
We know that many students struggle with reading due to dyslexia, language disorders, or concentration difficulties.
This can affect their confidence, self-esteem and motivation for schoolwork.
Imvi Labs offers training that can improve reading skills and enjoyment of reading.
Our training is based on scientific research that shows that eye movements are crucial for reading. For example, you can increase reading speed, reading comprehension and concentration by training eye coordination, which relieves the brain.
