NeuroLiteracy Pathway
From age 5 - 14 years.
Bright child. Slow reader. There is a reason.
​
Assessment-Led. Measured. Monitored.
​​
You have watched your child try hard. You have seen them avoid books, lose their place on the page, and feel behind children you know are less capable. This is exhausting for them and worrying for you. It is not about effort. For many children, slow reading is a brain processing issue, not a practice issue. And that means it can be addressed directly.​

The programme
Neuralign is a neuroscience-based reading programme developed over more than 25 years by neuroscientists, therapists and educators. It is the only programme to simultaneously target the auditory, visual and vestibular processing systems — the three brain pathways that must work together for fluent reading to develop.
Unlike phonics programmes that practise reading directly, Neuralign works at the level of the brain. Through a structured sequence of cognitive training and reading practice, it stimulates accelerated neuroplasticity — building the specific neural connections that struggling readers are missing.

The programme has 3 stages
• Cognitive Training — 15 hours of games targeting working memory, auditory and visual processing, and executive function. Completed over 3-5 weeks.
• Speed Reading — 5 sessions per week for 10 weeks that reinforce the neural connections being built
• Reading Exercises —5 sessions per week for 10 weeks (each session is approximately 20 minutes) comprehension and memory activities that consolidate progress.
Completed at home in 4–5 short sessions per week over approximately 15 weeks.
Monthly 15 -minute clinical review (parent + child).
​
Each month we:​​
• Analyse reading rate data
• Adjust targets
• Identify barriers
• Track measurable progress​

Why reading stays slow — the neuroscience
Fluent reading requires the brain to process visual symbols, sounds and language simultaneously and automatically. When a child can do this without effort, reading feels easy. When the neural pathways that support this are underdeveloped, reading remains slow and tiring no matter how much the child practises.
This is not a motivation problem. It is a neurological one.
The brain needs to build efficient connections between its auditory, visual and language processing centres. Until those connections are established and automated, reading will always feel like work — even for intelligent, hard-working children.
NeuroLiteracy uses Neuralign to stimulate neuroplasticity in the exact brain systems that underpin fluent reading — building new connections, not practising old habits.
Does this sound familiar?
Your child may:
• Read accurately but slowly and with visible effort • Re-read lines, lose their place, or skip words on the page
• Find even short reading tasks exhausting
• Understand content well when listened to, but struggle to access it through reading
• Avoid reading aloud or resist reading independently
• Have plateaued despite phonics support or tutoring
These patterns are not caused by lack of intelligence or lack of effort. They are caused by differences in how the brain processes the sounds, symbols and sequences that reading requires. Once those brain systems are strengthened, reading changes.
This 15-week pathway is designed to build:
​
• Decoding speed — the ability to recognise words quickly without sounding out every letter
• Reading rate — how many words per minute a child can read with understanding
• Accuracy — reducing guessing, skipping and substituting words
• Reading fluency — the ability to read smoothly, at pace, with expression
• Reading endurance — the ability to sustain reading without fatigue
​
When these systems become more efficient, effort decreases and confidence increases.
How NeuroLiteracy Works
Assessment
Before beginning the Cognitive Therapy of Neuralign, an initial placement assessment will need to be conducted in order to ensure that the student is placed
within the correct reading skill level. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
Access
Your child receives access to Neuralign within 48 hours. Sessions are completed at home — 4 to 5 times per week, approximately 20 to 30 minutes each. No travel. No classroom. Just consistent, structured practice at a time that suits your family.
Monthly review
Each month, we hold a 15-minute review with you and your child. We analyse reading rate data from the programme, adjust targets, identify any barriers to progress, and track measurable outcomes. You are never left wondering whether things are working.
Progress report
After 15 weeks, you receive a structured written progress summary with a before-and-after data comparison and a clear recommendation for what to do next.
No guesswork. No open-ended tuition. Every decision is led by data.
What is included
Your monthly fee includes:
​
• Full access to the Neuralign reading programme
• Structured home session plan (5 short sessions per week)
• Monthly 15 minute review with Laura
• Reading rate and accuracy tracking throughout the programme
• Written progress summary and data comparison at the end of 12 weeks
​
Investment:
​​
£397 (for 4 months access) or
£110 per month (for 4 months)
Minimum 4-month commitment
Option to extend the programme at a reduced price.
​
Many families spend years in general tutoring that does not address the root cause of slow reading.
NeuroLiteracy targets the underlying brain barrier directly with measurable results tracked and reported every month.
​
No hidden costs. Capacity is limited to ensure clinical oversight quality.

Most children begin the programme within 48 hours of applying.
Need a dyslexia assessment?
A specialist dyslexia assessment is a beneficial step. It identifies exactly which brain systems are creating the barrier. Although this is not needed to start the NeuroLiteracy programme. It is beneficial for schools to have access to a diagnostic report to support effectively to your child's unique profile. Book through our sister company, This Is Dyslexia.
