Read Right is Cost Effective When Measured by Cost Per Grade Level Gained

Serving the same student year after year is expensive

  • Read Right works to quickly eliminate reading problems

School dropouts are expensive

  • Read Right eliminates a major barrier to academic success

Losing Human Potential is expensive

  • Eliminating a reading problem gives the student ready access to information, ideas, and inspiration through print.

Many schools want to bring Read Right to their students, but where will they get the funding? Read Right’s extreme flexibility in dealing with various populations of students makes creative financing possible. Funds can be drawn from several different budgets and combined to invest in Read Right.

Before I went into the Read Right Program, I hated reading. I hated it when the teachers would call on me to read, because I knew my reading wasn’t very good. So, I took Read Right not because I wanted to, but because I had to. The Read Right Program taught me how to feel comfortable when I read and helped me to understand the things I read. Read Right gave me confidence. Now, I take pride in reading, and I’m no longer afraid to read when asked.
