Develop your reading skills with Glifing:
—the ideal method for teens and adults

Do you need reading training?

Many students enter high school without a strong reading comprehension skill. This difficulty can stem from many different and varied causes, but the solution is always the same: systematic and personalized reading training.

 

Not being a good reader has nothing to do with intelligence; in fact, there are many intelligent people who have struggled to learn to read well. But a lack of reading skills can indeed be an obstacle to moving forward confidently in the academic world.

 
Since reading is a cross-curricular skill that should be thoroughly mastered during the first years of schooling, it is usually difficult to find appropriate materials to work on this skill at older ages.
 

For this reason, when reading support is provided to older students or other adults, the material is often not age-appropriate, leading to rejection. Furthermore, because materials are not digital, they do not meet the need for personalization that ensures each person can progress based on their starting point.

  • Overcome reading limitations
  • Boost academic and professional success
 
On the other hand, there may be people who, as adults, have realized that they have a specific learning disability, or who have suffered cognitive impairment—whether due to cerebrovascular accidents, traumatic injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, or even aging.
In this context, Glifing provides the tools to assess an individual’s reading and comprehension levels, as well as appropriate activities for ongoing and varied cognitive stimulation that can help maintain and improve brain functions such as memory and attention.
By challenging the brain and promoting continuous learning, Glifing helps increase cognitive reserve. This refers to the brain’s ability to resist damage and compensate for functional losses; thanks to this, people in this situation are able to maintain their cognitive abilities with the help of rehabilitation.

How can Glifing help improve the reading skills of teenagers and adults?

Our solution focuses on providing an opportunity for reading practice using digital materials designed to help anyone who needs it overcome reading difficulties, regardless of their age or level of difficulty.
The program begins with an initial assessment that determines the individual’s skill level (initial screening). The program is adapted—both in its visual format and content—to each student’s age and skill level, assigning each student the work sessions that best suit their needs and stage of development.
As is customary at Glifing, the implementation is carried out in three phases:

Phase 1:
Initial Assessment

An initial, self-executing assessment is conducted to determine the reader’s profile, with a feedback report on the results.

Phase 2:
Training

The program automatically assigns work sessions to each student.
It is recommended to complete 3 to 4 sessions per week for 5 months.

Phase 3:
Reassessment

A self-administered final assessment is conducted to generate a comparative report on reading evolution.

 
All the material is available through a website, so the entire educational and recreational experience takes place within a digital platform. Users can access the materials and complete as many work sessions as necessary to reach the competency level appropriate for their grade level and age—or as far as their personal abilities allow.
 
Trainees can access the sessions from a computer or tablet, either at school or from home. The work can be done individually and independently.
 
Our solution is available in several languages: Catalan, Spanish, and Basque.
 
Students with reading difficulties, if given the proper training, can overcome their reading limitations and quickly become capable, independent readers. Students who progress from poor reading skills to functional reading learn to recognize that their previous failures were caused, in whole or in part, by their reading difficulties, and they embrace new challenges with greater confidence and assurance.

The Problem with Other Automated Methods

  • Unreliable results
  • Without professional guidance
  • More marketing than science
  • Little or no customization

The Glifing Method

MORE INFORMATION

What will you improve with Glifing?

With the right training, improvement—beyond general skills and regaining confidence—is also evident in the following areas:
  • Reading Comprehension
  • Spelling
  • Reading Fluency: Speed and Accuracy
  • Working Memory
  • Attention Span
  • Cognitive Flexibility
  • Vocabulary Knowledge
  • Self-Esteem
The Glifing method keeps records of the entire process, which are then reviewed by the trainee. These records can also be shared, in various formats, with educators, tutors, or other support professionals.
 

How we do it?

We evaluate

Using the Glifing test (designed by specialists and used in universities, hospitals, neurological institutes, and by thousands of educational psychologists), we assess speed, accuracy, and comprehension to determine the student’s reading profile.

Reading speed and accuracy are indicators of the level of reading automaticity.

Automaticity is necessary for good reading comprehension.

We analyze

The program communicates with the online platform automatically.

The platform processes the assessment data and compares it with the Glifing norms based on the user’s age (the norms are derived from a large, local sample and are analyzed by a research team at the University of Barcelona’s School of Psychology).

As a result, we immediately obtain accurate information about the user’s reading level.

We train

The Glifing method consists of a large number of training sessions tailored to each user’s needs.

With the data collected and processed on the platform, we can design a personalized training plan that addresses the user’s specific needs.

The platform also automatically tracks training progress so that the professional can adjust it at any time.

20 minutes a day. 4 days a week.

Glifing sessions are designed by specialists to develop reading skills without causing exhaustion or frustration.

By doing short 20-minute sessions each day, 4 days a week, the user can advance one full reading level in just 5 months.

What does Glifing include?

  • Determined by our reading efficiency index, which is calculated by comparing a user’s reading speed with the percentage of errors on the questions based on that text. This comparison will help us identify the areas of reading that need attention: comprehension, speed, both, or independent reading.

  • We identify the starting point for the training and set goals based on the user’s profile. After 5 months of training, we evaluate the improvement.

  • GlifingGo uses the Response to Intervention (RTI) methodology. The assessment determines the starting point and triggers the intervention plan. This plan is adjusted and modified as needed based on session records, assessments, and re-assessments.
  • Through the platform, each user systematically and individually practices the skills involved in reading. In this way, they learn to read, overcome potential difficulties, and improve their academic performance.

  • The training sessions are designed to motivate trainees with fun games that combine content to help them develop decoding automaticity and reading comprehension.

  • More than 45,000 activities are available.

  • Our team of educators and psychologists, with extensive experience in reading training, will guide you every step of the way so you always know what to do next.
