Warum GoLexic?

Unsere Geschichte

Our purpose: to help families with support that is immediately available and affordable, without compromising on the quality of the intervention

Hi there 👋 and welcome to GoLexic.

My name is Samantha, and that cutie with the mushroom haircut is my brother Alic. I think we were 3 and 5 on that photo. Alic struggled with reading all his life. He was diagnosed dyslexic quite young but that didn’t help find the right support for him.

I was very aware of what dyslexia is, but it wasn’t always clear to me that I would end up working in this field. Not until I came across two statistics that stunned me: 1 in 5 children struggle severely with reading. And 80% of these children will leave school without receiving support for their reading difficulty.

I remember thinking – we can do better.

The goal of GoLexic is to give parents a tool they can use at home, without delay, at a price that’s affordable, without compromising on the quality of the intervention.

What was the path to creating GoLexic?

When I was in my early teens, I remember my mother doing research every night, reading every article she could find, speaking to any expert who could help her understand how dyslexia can be helped. Ultimately, that’s how she met the Dr. de Haan, a Dutch professor in linguistics and pioneer in dyslexia studies. He had developed a reading intervention approach by working with children in the Netherlands. My mother and him started working together to develop this approach in new languages. They worked with thousands of children around the world over the last 25 years, continuously perfecting their methodology.

The concept for the GoLexic App came together after I spent some time supporting my her language Institute, Dyseurope, where she supports children with severe dyslexia with reading intervention. I realised most parents run into the same difficulties and delays when looking for reading intervention. I also witnessed the incredible progress children make working with the tools and approach used in the Institue. I heard from countless parents what an unbelievable difference it made in their children’s skills and their well-being.

Making these tools accessible and affordable has been my mission for building GoLexic. They are the basis for the GoLexic App. We still have a lot of work to do, but parents tell me all the time how much the App has helped their child read better and re-gain confidence. And that, for me, the best reward in the world.

Unsere Mission

Wir helfen Kindern, die Schwierigkeiten mit dem Lesen und der Rechtschreibung haben - und denen, die sie betreuen.

Unser Ziel ist es, ein leistungsfähiges, effektives und ermutigendes Lernprogramm für Kinder anzubieten, die Probleme mit dem Lesen haben, und zwar auf eine Weise, die für alle Eltern erschwinglich, bequem und einfach zu handhaben ist.

Wir machen es einfacher, Kindern mit Legasthenie oder Lernschwierigkeiten zu helfen, und zwar auf eine Art und Weise, die Kinder nicht stigmatisiert und Kindern, Eltern und Lehrern so wenig zusätzliche Arbeit wie möglich verursacht.

Mit einer Lernmethode, die auf die Bedürfnisse von Kindern mit Leseschwäche und Legasthenie zugeschnitten ist, haben wir ein digitales Programm entwickelt, das ihnen hilft, wieder fließend lesen und schreiben zu lernen.
