Quick-Learn Quick - A
completely NEW 3-Step decoding system, unlike any other in
American education. |
Read
Quick was developed and pioneered in classrooms while teaching
regular, special education, ESL and remedial reading
intervention
classes. This ideal reading supplement uses one
"Stand-Alone" system on 'VOICED & VISUAL' interactive software for successfully teaching all
ability levels, ages 4-adult. All lessons are age
appropriate for all users.

Quick is the
only decoding method needed. There are NO levels.
Read
Quick 3-Step decoding
system prevents and corrects reading dysfunction in all readers,
including gifted, average, remedial and ESL learners.
Read
Quick does not
interfere with other known methods; enhances prior skills for decoding
and word fluency. Most consistent letter clusters for spelling and
speech are used from basic language and organized in a pattern
for analyzing word structure and the relationships of letters within a
word. The result is a 3-Step marking system that guides the reader
to methodically focus on Combinations first, as they are the most
critical letter clusters to identify for decoding unknown words.
Students
are initially taught mastery of Combinations. After modest practice, Combinations 'stand out' in
words that readers see instantly while reading. Near
instant recognition greatly improves reader's comprehension and improves
reading speed for memory of text; skills that students need to develop
their word fluency and comprehension.

Sources for 47 Combinations
-
21
Letter Clusters - From Diphthongs, Diagraphs and
Common Syllables -
-
18
Letter Clusters - Identified by Research as having
Consistent Sounds & Spelling; recommended for
all students -
-
8
Letter Clusters with same criteria as above were
added by the author, resulting in 47 Combinations,
making Read Quick an
exceptional phonetic decoding method, replacing the
use of syllables.

Read
Quick
has all the advantages of teaching a phonics
decoding system without the disadvantages teaching
syllables. The
following page from our software lessons demonstrates HOW
to mark a word, using the 3-Step System. |
|
|
Read
Quick uses the student's listening vocabulary to anchor
identification and memory of Combinations for decoding.
This visual to speech process significantly accelerates the
mastery time for decoding, comprehension, and developing word fluency.
Initially
marking unknown words is a rapid process and
is only needed while learning the system. With practice, all markings are eliminated from the process as
student gains control; based on student's age, ability and past
reading instruction.
Three
(3) steps become one (1) step as students control the C, G,
& Y and vowels.
Guaranteed to out-perform all decoding methods,
regardless of price.

Based on Standardized Reading Tests, the percentage of students
labeled "dysfunctional", not being taught to read, has
remained at a staggering 50-60%
since
the 1960's.
Reading
was the number one problem then and is the number one problem
now. Enhancing programs to teach phonics and
syllables have not made significant gains in the number of
functional readers.

Quick was developed
to successfully
teach
both left and right brain learners to efficiently decode words.
-
Educators
and parents must face the reality: The majority of students
included in the national reading statistics are right brain,
dyslexic or learning disabled with a visual problem that can
be corrected. This prevents normal reading growth in
this group of students.
-
Teaching
phonics and syllables, using the logic (left) brain for
instruction, is a documented failure for right brain
(Gestalt), kinesthetic and dyslexic learners.
Successful readers taught using phonics and syllables are
Logic (left brain) learners.
BRIDGING
THE READING GAP
-
Most
remedial readers need a better foundation in a consistent
decoding system to rapidly advance their comprehension and
reading skills in grades 4-12. Phonics and syllables for
decoding are inconsistent and inaccurate, preventing this
group from developing decoding skills in reading and
educational subjects. As they progress to more mature
language structure and vocabulary, the distance between
success and failure grows wider and they become totally
"turned off" to reading,
resulting in more failure; so they escape by dropping out of
school.
ESL
students experience
the
same problems learning how to correctly pronounce English
words because syllable methods are not consistent in
controlling letters and letter cluster sounds, which is the
basis of
Read
Quick's
3-Step
System.
To
prevent reading dysfunction, begin teaching Read Quick to
students in grades 1-3 to provide them decoding skills that
are accurate and easily learned for mastery.
There
are different basic types of language learners and different
ways to teach them.

GESTALT
TEACHING
Gestalt
means explaining the whole concept of a topic or skill before providing the necessary individual pieces of information for
learning and mastery of that concept or skill.
Gestalt
(Right Brain),
Kinesthetic, Dyslexic and ESL students must learn by this sequence of how materials are presented, regardless of the lesson
content. Read Quick teaches all lessons in this sequence:
SEE
& HEAR ~ SEE & SAY ~ SEE & DO
Initial
lessons are taught using the Gestalt method, teaching the
overall program, then practicing the individual parts while
reading, spelling and with directed lessons. This is the
best method for all ability levels and all ages.

Student
Bookmark (3"x 8") is recommended for student's
daily use at school, home, or library, to act as a constant

Quick recommends using reading
materials, 2-4 years above students' tested ability for oral reading and direct teaching, providing
challenging concepts, vocabulary, and critical thinking
skills. This approach pulls and challenges the
students to rapidly advance their vocabulary, reading skills
and general knowledge. There should be NO
artificial ceiling on reading materials that are proper for
age and stability of the students.
-
Using reading material 2 to 4 years above the student's actual
reading level is not frustrating to the
reader.... In fact, this has proven to be the
best strategy.
-
Oral
reading is half of a 2-part reading strategy. The other half
is following the text and reading activities of the adopted
reading program.
-
The
47 Combinations are used by speech teachers working with
students that have been identified as needing speech therapy.
-
Software
lessons are designed to successfully teach students with
auditory,
visual and kinesthetic learning styles.
-
In-service
for instructors simply involves using the 3-Step
System on a few words.
-
The
3-Step System provides students with consistent,
dependable and accurate "mental frame of
reference" for decoding unknown words.
-
Students
see Combinations in words as a whole sound immediately for
reading; the foundation for word fluency.
-
Combinations
control many phonetic exceptions by turning exceptions into
consistent sound-spelling clusters.
-
System
uses information stored in the auditory memory for
connection to Combinations, when underlined.
-

Quick offers
a simple system that is easy to explain to younger and
special needs students.
-
Makes
implementing the Carnegie
Report (grades 7-12) effortless.
-
All
sounds and spellings in the 3-Step System may be reviewed
rapidly on a daily basis in 7-15 minutes, depending on age
and ability of group.
-
Any
faculty member may become a reading teacher for decoding by
using the 3-Step System.
