“We now have a low rate of unexcused absences and discipline referrals, and we have a high rate of high school graduates. I believe it is because Read Right makes it possible for our students to read and advance their English skills. When students can read and understand the work, they stick with school.”Find us on Facebook

About ELL
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 the 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 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 middle and high school English Language Learners in Read Right is 22 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
