 Data  (Totals for 15-month old Project)

(Note: The tutoring hours accumulated at the current placement grade are not included in the calculation of hours per  grade gained.)

Read Right Tutoring significantly helped to raise 6^th grade reading scores on the Ohio Proficiency Test from 58.6% passing to 74.7% passing.

Student Comments:
“I can read out loud in class and not be embarrassed.”

“This class has inspired me to read more.”

“Now I understand things when I read, and I feel more confident.”

“In my school work I am improving a lot.  I am reading faster so I am getting work done faster.  The teachers say that I am really improving, and I can feel the difference and see the difference.”

“Read Right is not for dummies.  It is just for people who can’t read.”

 Parent Comments
“Her motivation to work has increased.  She feels that she is now able to attain the goals that she has set for herself.”  

“The Read Right program can make a huge difference in a child’s educational career.  It also helps the individuals involved to build confidence in themselves and amongst their peers.  Thank you!”

“He loves coming to Read Right.  Hopefully this class can help another child as it has mine.”

“This class has helped him tremendously because he used to gripe and get upset when he had to pick up a book, but not any more.  Thank you.”

 Teacher Comments:
“Students are eager to go to Read Right and never have to be reminded.”

 “I notice an incredible increase in confidence among my Read Right students.”

“Within a short time, they are raising their hands and seem more involved in the classroom.  THEY know they’re improving too.  That’s the really fun part.”

“When I do my fluency assessments, the Read Right students are by far the most fluent.”

“This year I have a student who is really struggling with reading.  In fact, the parents told me they had tried everything and were hesitant to try something else that might not work.  At the beginning of the year, his comprehension scores were very low.  He’s now been in Read Right for most of the year.  This last quarter his comprehension scores moved into the 80% range.  AMAZING!  Even his Sunday School teacher has noticed the improvement.  I wish we could serve all of our struggling readers!.”
