“For many of my bilingual students, learning to read has been a long, difficult road. They’ve been discouraged, hard on themselves, and in many instances, have completely given up hope that they can be successful in reading. Read Right turns all that around. We’ve seen amazing progress with the students in the Read Right program. They’re reading at levels they’ve never imagined.”Find us on Facebook

Before we're old enough to start school, most of us learn to speak through a process of meaningful interactions with experienced speakers. Read Right methodology improves the ability of English Language Learners to both speak and read in English through a similar process. Rather than focusing on the "parts and pieces" of language, Read Right's highly structured methods shift student attention away from learning vocabulary and grammar rules to a concept of learning language through interactions with the meaning-filled language of books and stories. In this way, Read Right parallels the way very young children learn language.
Read Right English Language Learners Will:
- Expand their vocabulary so they can more readily express their thinking and understand others
- Improve their ability to use appropriate English language structure to facilitate oral and written communication with native speakers
- Improve their pronunciation so they are more easily understood
Read Right Works for All English Language Learners—Even Those with Reading Problems
- The Read Right methodology simultaneously addresses reading problems and English communication needs
- Read Right helps students at all levels of language proficiency
- Entry requirement: students must be able to understand the English in early first-grade books
- Read Right’s approach to accent reduction quickly helps students whose accents make them very difficult to understand
Fast Results
- The average advancement for elementary school English Language Learners in Read Right is 40 hours of tutoring per grade level advanced
- Teachers in other classes quickly notice the improvement in English communication
- The immediate and consistent feedback that is required to shape language acquisition by making the brain aware of areas of confusion and erroneous understandings is not possible in a large group setting. The five-to-one tutoring format of the language acquisition model is a key ingredient in its efficiency and effectiveness.

Read Right is highly effective with English language learners because it is a highly structured language-intensive system, involving daily oral English-language speaking and reading with active and ongoing support provided for proper English pronunciation, sentence structure, and vocabulary. At every level, our comprehensive system uses a library composed of hundreds of books to help English language learners grow their knowledge of both language and the world as they build excellent reading skills. It is a complete, turn-key system.
