We recognize the pivotal role tutors have in a student's development.  Reading proficiency is vital in a student's academic journey. Early identification of reading challenges is essential, and the Read Between the Lions (RBTL) Reading Skills program offers an invaluable solution designed specifically for tutors like you.

RBTL, a free program, employs a swift yet effective approach to identify reading-related hurdles. By using three timed eye movement tests in just five minutes, RBTL uncovers a lack of coordinated jump eye movements, a common issue affecting around 20% of readers across all age groups.

The program's next step involves a practical and user-friendly remediation process. It introduces repetitive focusing techniques and enhances eye-hand coordination fine motor skills, effectively training eye muscles to work in sync. This targeted approach aids students in achieving coordinated jump eye movements during reading, a cornerstone of efficient reading skills.

Following a brief five-minute screening assessment, students are categorized as age-appropriate, borderline, or at-risk readers. For those falling into the at-risk and borderline categories, indicating issues with coordinated jump eye movements, RBTL's remediation regimen becomes a valuable resource. Through guided exercises, it enhances eye muscle coordination and transforms reading experiences.

In essence, the RBTL Reading Skills program equips tutors with a powerful tool for early detection and intervention. By addressing reading challenges at their core, tutors can help students build essential reading skills and boost their confidence. With RBTL, you're not just a tutor; you're an advocate for unlocking each student's reading potential and paving the way for a brighter academic future.
