Dyslexia Solutions

We at Unlimited Learning, know how stressful the FCATs and other standardized tests can be - for everyone involved, the child, the parent, and the teacher.

We offer two highly effective FCAT solutions:

  • Individualized instruction where we do all of the work for you
  • Or, individualized instruction plus Test Tamer Worksheets for you to use at home

Our individualized Test Tamer instruction includes three parts:

  • Analysis of previous FCAT scores to determine your child's strengths and weaknesses. (We may choose to do a cognitive screening to see if there are any underlying learning weaknesses that are preventing your child from performing at grade level.)
  • Skill training in the specific academic or cognitive areas determined to be weak
  • Overall FCAT testing strategies designed to train your child to get the maximum points during their tests. The FCATs have a different scoring system from other standardized tests, so it is VITAL that your FCAT instructor clearly understand them and know how to show your child how to "get the most bang for their buck" during testing.

Our Test Tamer system was designed to help you help your child become more successful and less stressed when taking any standardized tests.

What makes test taking so hard? Sometimes it's the content or the subject matter, sometimes it's the child's learning ability, sometimes it's the instructors teaching ability. But OFTEN the cause for test anxiety or poor testing performance is caused by two simple problems, time and mis-reading the question or answer.

Often when people are trying to perform a regular, everyday task in a timed circumstance, they feel stressed and make mistakes. It's simple, if we feel stressed, our performance suffers. How many times has your child missed a simple question because he mis-read the question? Too many I'm sure. One or two mis-read words can be the difference between a simple, correct, quick answer and a confusing bunch of choices that not only don't make sense, but eat up their valuable, available test taking time. Test Tamers training can help your child read testing tems more accurately and faster!

How does our individualized Test Tamers training work?

It's simple, rather than spend months training and re-training kids on conscious test-taking techniques that they forget to use because they're stressed...we train the kids on a subconscious level to read tricky testing terms accurately as quickly as possible. Why train them in a subconscious skill? Because they can still use a subconscious skill when they're stressed. As a matter of fact, it's the only thing they can use when they're stressed. Our FCAT prep does that! Get your sets now and start building a successful learning experience today!

Don't you have to be specially trained to teach these skills?

Yes, that's why we form a team with you to help your child be more successful.

  • You can let us do the hard individualized instruction work and you can use our special Test Tamers worksheets for yourself because we're passing on over twelve years of experience in special cognitive skill training to you in our easy to read directions. All you need is a set of Test Tamer worksheets, a stopwatch or a timer, and 5-10 minutes a day.
  • Will Test Tamers work for elementary and high school age children? YES! We have different levels of Test Tamer instruction available based on the child's reading ability, not their chronological age. For example, our Word Search worksheet set is good for beginning readers who are just beginning to stabilize their sight word knowledge. The Speed Word worksheet set is perfect for intermediate to advanced readers. And our Speed Phrase worksheet set is perfect to refine concentration skills and reading fluency during test taking.

    How much are they?

    If you choose to work with us, we include your Test Tamer worksheets in the price of your sessions.

    Cordially,
    The staff at Dyslexia Solutions
    and Unlimited Learning

    PS - Test Tamers are also great for other standardized tests like GEDs, SATs, GREs, etc.
