A Truly Innovative Reading Solution

Developmental Education

Read Right Provides the Missing Piece for Developmental Education Programs

With colleges and adult basic education (ABE) programs across the nation dealing with the dilemma of students arriving with low literacy and math skills, how can Read Right help? Read Right tutoring has a 30-year track record of quickly and efficiently improving reading ability, as documented by decades of data and recent independent, gold-standard research.

When students are reading at a third, fifth, or seventh grade level, they are likely to struggle with every course—English, math, content, and technical courses. The Read Right tutoring program for developmental education eliminates the basic reading problem so students can easily and comfortably understand text, making Read Right efficient and affordable. Because Read Right tutoring uses a strategic combination of silent and oral reading with authentic stories and books, it is also highly effective with English language learners (ELL). Read Right tutoring will help you quickly and efficiently improve the reading skills of ABE, ELL, and college students and subsequently help you retain students through completion of their programs.  

Read Right is Truly Unique and Innovative

Reading problems are caused when students construct a flawed neural network to guide the process of reading. Influenced by Piaget’s theory of interactive constructivism, the Read Right developmental reading program relies on the plasticity of the brain to remodel the neural circuitry that is operating inappropriately. Even the most challenged students can be quickly transformed from poor readers to successful readers—in a matter of months, not years!
