Effective with English Language Learners.jpg)
How do very young children learn to speak in their native language? Through 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 first to a concept of learning language through interactions with meaning-filled English language books and stories created by authors. 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

Fast Results
