ReadLS is a unique game based reading intervention which targets the route causes of reading struggles. 40 hours of fun and engaging intervention is completed on the computer. The students are awarded points and their progress is tracked on colourful graphs. ReadLS sets students up for success while targeting auditory processing, visual processing, tracking, working memory and more.
