Our experience has shown us that every single individual, whether boy or girl, man or woman, can learn to read properly and easily. Each and every one!
This assertion does not stem from the confidence we have in our own abilities, but because of our deep faith in the innate potential of our students.
Whoever can see, hear, move and think, can also read.
Even a person diagnosed with severe dyslexia, who has failed at every corrective therapy, can successfully learn to read.
There is no need to try to circumvent the problem or to try complex strategies aimed at helping a person read. With the right approach, each boy or girl can learn to read like any other child.
Nor do parents have to wait until their child reaches a higher grade. Learning to read can be easy and enjoyable, without necessitating long years of study.
We could say it is because we have seen it happen countless times. Hundreds of children, teenagers and adults, struggling with every type and level of learning difficulties, have been successfully treated at the Zarchin Institute for over a decade.
Yet, this is not the real reason for our assurance.
Our belief that every child can learn to read lies in our understanding of reading as a function of thinking, and thinking can be fortified and developed when integrated with our other senses.
The child’s hearing, vision, movement, and sense of touch are the basic tools we use to promote his or her thinking and reading abiltiy.
The tools are the child’s. The ability is the child’s. The knowledge and talents are the child’s. Everything is already inside the child; the only thing necessary is for them to express what is already inside them.
We do not teach a child to read; we merely reveal to him that he already has this ability. In the end, the child teaches himself to read.
At the Zarchin Institute, the process of learning to read is always accompanied by promoting the child’s self-confidence as part of the overall development of his thinking, so that the treatment affects the child’s learning far beyond the specific goal of reading. The child gains confidence in his own abilities, which advances him from scholastically, socially, and emotionally.
Each child has his own alphabet. Our job is to be compassionate and concerned figures, who project complete certainty in his ability to overcome his difficulty. The child understands that we care about him and that his feelings and interests are important to us. When this feeling is combined with practical exercises using all the senses, a connection is forged between the knowledge that the child already has and the letters and reading principles he is striving to master.
In the Zarchin Method, the pages, books and exercises do not comprise the totality of the learning experience. Great importance is attached to the human encounter – to the connection made between the teacher – who regards his student as a knowledgeable and capable from their very first meeting – and the heart of the student, which may be full of fears, doubts and disappointments.
The chemistry that is created between the child and the therapist dispels these fears, dissolves disappointments, and infuses the child with faith in himself, until he begins to grow from within, thus improving his reading, concentration, and behavior, as well.
