If last year was tough and frustration is already back, it may be time for a new approach that restores confidence.
October, 2025
School has been in session for about a month now. How is your child doing? Are mornings filled with battles to get them out the door, or do the tears come home with them after a long day?
Last year was tough with reading or math. Over the summer, you held on to the hope that this school year would start fresh, that things would finally click. But here you are, already seeing the same frustration you witnessed last year. It is heartbreaking to watch your child struggle despite all the effort, practice, and encouragement you have given.
If this sounds familiar, this is not the time to just “push through” and hope things magically turn around. Tears and frustration are signals that something is not working for your child and for you.
At Minnesota Learning Solutions, we take a different approach. Instead of piling on more of the same methods that have not worked, we uncover the root causes of learning struggles in reading, writing, or math. We meet your child right where they are, working with the way they naturally think and learn.
This is not just about stronger skills. It is about restoring confidence, reducing stress, and giving both you and your child tools that actually work.
Because when your child feels capable and proud of themselves, everything shifts.
✨ If you are ready to explore a new way forward, let’s talk.
Warmly,
Tracy

This summer, Josey came in to strengthen her math and attention. She made great strides in her math work, finding new ways to use her picture-thinking mind so problems made more sense and she could move through exercises with more confidence.
She also began learning strategies to support her focus, practicing how to notice when her attention drifts and what tools she can use to bring it back.
We are proud of Josey’s progress and the effort she’s shown. She’s heading into the new school year with new strategies in place and a strong start!
