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.

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!
