NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Colorado Springs, CO, United States, 04/12/2007 - Phonemic awareness assessments help identify potentially weak cognitive skills which often can lead to learning disbilities. With the proper testing a plan of action can be made to improve learning.

LearningRx provides phonemic awareness assessments to prevent many common learning disabilities. They have found through their own documented research and careful study that weak cognitive skills play a big part in learning disabilities, and phonemic awareness assessments assist in identifying potentially weak cognitive learning skills. Further information on phonemic awareness assessments and other specialized programs geared towards improving and preventing learning disabilities can be found on their website.

Phonemic awareness is the cognitive skill that allows us to connect speech sounds to the letters in words. Children will go through several different phases during their learning development, and a lack of phonemic awareness will be present during these stages. Like any weak cognitive skill issues, it is important to get tested early, and that is why LearningRx has incorporated this testing into their cognitive skills testing which covers a variety of potential problems that can be found in both children and adults.

“Our programs are guaranteed to work because we have over 12,000 documented skill and reading gains for students all over,” says Dr. Ken Gibson, Founder and CEO of LearningRx. “The first step is to get tested and we will map out the plan of action for overcoming the weak cognitive skills or the learning disability.”

LearningRx points out that a child who is having a difficulty spelling common words, difficulty reading aloud, or having a difficulty using phonics to sound out words should get tested. These are just a small example of the many warning signs of a lack of phonemic awareness.

Further information on LearningRx (LearningRx.com) and how they assist children and adults with learning disabilities can be found on their website. The website also offers a free self-screening test, and a way for website visitors to locate a LearningRx Training Center nearest them.
