Curriculum for Primary Grades: Read Right from the
Beginning
Read Right is a unique approach to
teaching reading that enables students with reading problems
to improve their reading skills in a relatively brief amount
of time. Read Right is aimed at students
who, though they may have had effective systematic, explicit
phonic instruction, still don’t read well enough to perform
at a high—or even adequate—academic standard. For these
students the issues are frequently fluency and comprehension,
and we have demonstrated success in positively impacting these
problem areas. The Read Right system of
instruction integrates knowledge from brain research, learning
theory, and reading theory and is consistently successful in
permanently eliminating reading problems.
Proven Effectiveness
Read Right has been
used successfully with many categories of students including
those enrolled in Title 1 programs, with students classified
as dyslexic, ADD or learning disabled, and with students for
whom English is a second language. Read Right has been well tested with projects
implemented at over 529 sites with more than 3,188,000 hours of
tutoring to date. Elementary, middle and high
school students have all become excellent readers through Read
Right tutoring.
Return on Investment
Read Right helps students significantly improve their
reading skills when alternative approaches are showing very
slow or no progress. Consequently, when measured by cost per
unit of reading advancement, Read Right
is the most cost-effective investment a school can make to
help students who have fallen behind in reading.
Implementation Model
Read Right is conducted as a pullout intervention
program with 3 to 4 students served per tutor per
period. Each student is tutored daily and is also expected to
read independently on his or her own in level-appropriate
materials. Each tutor typically tutors 18 to 24 students per
day.
Our Read Right consultants come to
your school to train your teachers or para-professionals to
become expert in our tutoring methodology. The training is
intensive and hands-on, and by virtue of their expanded
understanding of how brains learn a process and what brains
are doing when they read, your teachers or aides are empowered
to help children eliminate their reading problems. A
train-the-trainer model is normally chosen by school districts
in order that one or more of the tutors are trained to the
level of expertise necessary to become certified as Read Right trainers for the district.
Turn Key Approach
Read Right Systems furnishes a complete library and all
the training, equipment and materials necessary to assure a
successful project. This includes the support systems necessary to assess the student's reading
problem in order to place the students accurately in the
program, to conduct the tutoring sessions, to manage the
students on a daily basis, to manage the project, and to
evaluate each students progress with criterion-referenced,
formative measures as well as with summative performance
measures.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is built into the
implementation model. Read Right
consultants work closely with school personnel during the
entire life of the project to insure the integrity of the
program, the on-going quality of the project and to provide
continuing learning opportunities for the tutoring staff.
More Information
The Read Right system was
developed and refined over a period of 20 years by Dr. Dee
Tadlock, Ph.D in reading, past president of the College
Reading and Learning Association, and founder of Read Right Systems. For an interesting insight in how Dr.
Tadlock developed this unique approach to teaching reading see
