Arguably, these were those with the least obvious connection to literacy. Gains were made on bead threading, balance, rapid naming, semantic fluency, a measure of segmentation and a measure of working memory." I plan to look at these 6 DST measures and how improvements in these areas transfers to real learning. The working memory part really caught my eye, because as of the completion of the Dore program, my son has made some measurable gains in working memory, which is really great news for him.
