Breakthroughs in neuroscience have led to an entirely new understanding of how the brain learns language. This enables us to develop products which improve our ability to learn language - for children and adults, for first and additional languages and for the most vulnerable to the most able.
Recently a UK TV documentary presented dramatic new evidence as to why as many as one in three children have difficulty reading:over 600 research studies have converged on just one answer…a bit of the brain is not working properly…if it is, children will learn to read almost regardless of how they are taught, if not they will have difficulty…and the less well it is working the greater the difficulty... It is a minor neurological weakness that makes difficult it to distinguish the tiny sounds within words (phonemes)”.
At MindWeavers we have been developing professional tools for use in the treatment of language difficulties based on this principle. The tools use auditory training, particularly phoneme training.
When learning additional languages, the difficulty to distinguish sounds can be a major barrier. Children and adults must build additional brain resources. The first application of our technology is in Phonomena® - the proven phoneme- based language developer.
Phonomena targets and enhances the neural pathways involved “by design”. Its patent-protected and technically-superior phoneme discrimination training improves reading and other key language skills such as speech.
It improves the brain’s fundamental ability to learn language and is effective for those with and without neurological weaknesses.
