Matthew’s Reading Improvement: Enhancing Skills with IM

Matthew is an 8-year-old boy.

He struggled in reading due to poor fluency and comprehension skills. When reading he often added and omitted words.

When exiting 2nd grade Matthew’s reading comprehension level was so low it didn’t even register on the school’s scoring system.

Matthew also showed difficulties at home. He had trouble remembering multi-step instructions and was very forgetful.

Matthew participated in Interactive Metronome (IM) 2 days a week for 4 months.

After two months of IM, his teacher noticed he began to focus better. She commented that he didn’t need to ask as many questions when given instructions.

Halfway through 3rd grade Matthew’s reading comprehension level was retested and he registered on the scale this time!

He is now reading more fluently and not skipping as many words.

As a bonus, his handwriting skills also improved.

Matthew’s mother is extremely happy with his results after doing IM and so is Matthew.
