Edublox Bloemfontein

Edublox brain-training clinics offer classes and programs that improve reading and learning skills, as well as courses in study methods.

Mission

Reading is regarded as the most important skill that a child must acquire at school, because one must learn to read in order to be able to read to learn. Good reading skills ― it goes without saying that spelling and writing are included ― are therefore the foundation of and a prerequisite to learning success in school, as well as a condition for career success later in life.

The mission of Edublox is to improve children’s learning ability ― and especially their reading ability ― so that they can experience the pleasure of achievement.

develop and improve their reading and learning skills. The establishment of a clinic is simultaneously
* a new venture (the first clinic opened in February 2007),
* the end-result of 30 years' experience in practice, and
* the combined effort of 50 years of intensive research about reading and learning.

Over the past 30 years we have helped thousands of learners, not only in South Africa, but worldwide. Some of our programs are exported but the newest, latest and best techniques and methods are used and presented exclusively at the Edublox clinics.

The main objective at Edublox is to develop and practise the skills that underlie reading, spelling, writing, and learning as such. Skills include, but are not limited to:

* Attention and concentration;
* Perception ― visual, auditory and haptic;
* The ability to discriminate, synthesise and analyse in terms of foreground-background, form, size, position in space and colour;
* Processing speed;
* Phonemic awareness;
* Memory ― short and long term, visual and auditory;
* The ability to decode, integrate and classify information.

By storing these foundational skills in the subconscious mind they become automatic. At the same time learners are given opportunities to apply these foundational skills in practice. The outcome is improved reading and learning ability, which leads to improved academic performance, simultaneously building the learner's self-image and improving his self-image. We thus create a basis for lifelong learning.
