ELL

Effective With English Language Learners (ELL)

Simultaneously and Significantly Improves Reading Abilities, while Fostering English Acquisition!

Read Right methodology, has successfully improved their reading skills of English Language Learners.  English Language Learners dramatically and rapidly improved their English reading skills and get the reading help they need with Read Right tutoring.

Read Right projects for English Language Learners enable participants to quickly develop competence and comfort in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. The expectation of the student is shifted away from a concept of learning vocabulary and grammar rules first and then using the language and towards a concept of learning the language as he or she uses it. In this way, Read Right mirrors the way the brain learns language naturally and so is more effective and more efficient than methodologies that cause the brain to learn language in an unnatural way.

Read Right ELL Students 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 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.
  • Teachers in other classes quickly notice the difference in communications (reading, writing, listening, speaking).

My son really struggled with reading. He has some additional struggles, including anxiety, so we had decided to homeschool for the school year in the hopes that I might be able to catch him up to grade level. But at 7 1/2 and halfway through his first grade year, he was only reading two letter sight words that had been a LOT of work to get memorized. He felt self-conscious and hated trying to read.

Enter Read Right! Ashley W. was assigned as a tutor, and was a total dream. She was compassionate and patient, and never once made him feel stupid or ashamed for lack of knowledge or skill. I was also grateful he could do it for half an hour four days a week, rather than one hour at a time.

The program had him start with very, very short, predictive books. He gained pride and confidence with these, and steadily moved on to common picture books, then longer, more complex picture books. He graduated from the program five months ago now, and he is reading chapter books and told me recently "Mom, I'm a bookworm." It brought me to tears how much not only his skill has improved, but his attitude toward and enjoyment of reading, too. 

I will forever be grateful for this program!! Thanks to all who contribute!
