Integration and Posture provides instruction about achieving the best posture for learning and positioning the mind’s eye on the child’s Integration Point.  These techniques build tolerance for the confusion triggered by learning to use 2-dimensional, written characters.

Tune In and Turn On exercises are used often during study and performance sessions to reconnect, rebalance and re-integrate mind and body so that brain integration is restored, even under stressful conditions.

 

 

Character Command enables the learner to gain command of each abstract stumble word and written character.  The set of 13 volumes of the Learning to Read Program provide the multi-sensory experiences of abstract stumble words, written characters and punctuation marks.  Character Command is the process used to learn to read these words and symbols.

Reading, rhythm and punctuation utilizes all the MELT™ techniques to gain command of the pauses and stops of punctuation marks in order to comprehend what is being read, with ease and accuracy.
