The non-intuitive reading students might be called analytic learners since they must go from learning square one to square 100 in exact order. They cannot skip steps like the intuitive students do. They must be taught and then through practice consolidate that teaching in a very explicit structured sustained and branching manner to gain long-term skills, abilities and knowledge of what they have been taught.

Reading Example: five things must be mastered in reading - phonemic awareness to hear the sounds correctly, rules of phonics to be able to understand what sounds to make, vocabulary to understand intellectual concepts, comprehension to be able to put words together and fluency to be able to read at the speed that the learner thinks, leaving no time to be distracted. Intuitives can jump over some of these and still read, non-intuitives must master these in order or they will not learn to read well.

Some students learn intuitively and master reading and fundamental math even before starting school. Many non-intuitive students never learn to read or do math well. These students who do not learn in the first few grades are very much at risk of dropping out in middle or high school since they do not enjoy school, it makes them feel stupid. These students can be taught to read and do math if they have the right approach. We know what that approach should be from peer reviewed published research.

Non-Intuitive students must have interventions that provides this explicit, structured, sustained and branching methods. Even more important is that technology now allows us to work with only what a student needs and to monitor exactly what they have done. With these programs each computer click is a formative assessment. Teachers, administrators and parents can see what each student does minute by minute.
