START ANYTIME  -  Read Quick does not interfere with other known methods;

                                                enhances prior skills for literacy & reading comprehension.

RAPIDLY APPLIED -  Unknown words are correctly pronounced while reading 

                                                  orally or silently for word fluency and comprehension. 

 

The simplicity of how Read Quick works is the true "POWER" in developing essential decoding skills for reading intervention.

It's as Easy as Learning the Alphabet !

 

Innovative Reading System teaches a decoding process unlike any other in American education.  It is dramatically successful for all ages and ability levels in regular, special education, Title I, adult literacy, and ESL programs, nation-wide and around the world.  

Read Quick is a proven remedial reading method using a unique 3-Step system  to correctly pronounce 90% of all English words.  Developed as the ideal decoding method to use with direct teaching.     Visit:  3-Step System

 It uses one system for all learners, all ages and all ability levels: for teaching emerging and remedial students requiring reading intervention.  Any instructor, tutor or parent can teach a student to excel in decoding. 

47 Letter Clusters with Normal Speech Sounds and Common Spelling Replace Use of Syllables:

  • Allows students to quickly decode words in context while reading orally or silently, preventing unnecessary delays when meeting unknown words.

  • Provides a consistent "mental frame of reference" for students to focus on where and how to start decoding an unknown word. 

  • Rapid decoding and student focus on any text used for "direct teaching" enhances the quality of the lesson.

  • Using natural speech word clusters, the process is easily learned and memorized for mastery and embedded in long term memory.

 

 

  The National Failure Rate for Functional Reading Level is 60-70%   (Based on Standardized Reading Tests given in all states and reported by the federal government.)  

Read Quick was developed to successfully

 impact this group of failing students !

  • Today's failure rate can be directly attributable to the inaccuracies and inconsistencies of phonemes and syllables; students simply do not learn or remember how to decode words.

  • The lack of a decoding foundation has resulted in literacy problems and academic difficulties beginning in the elementary years.

  • Research from the ' Reading Panel' does not completely support phonics and syllables.  See "Research".

  • Read Quick is the ideal decoding system for implementing the Carnegie Report for grades 7-12.   The 15 elements in the report are practiced and have been used for over 35 years by classrooms and schools, implementing the Read Quick decoding method. 

Most of the 30-40% successful readers taught to decode using phonics and syllables are Logic (left brain) Learners.

By nature of their brain dominance and visual (eye) dominance they are language learners.  Spelling and sounds in words are easily processed from an early age and they become the more skilled readers.  They are practically "self-taught".

Stop Failing 'Right Brain' Students and ESL Learners !

o   Most dysfunctional readers are 'Right Brain' or

Gestalt Learners

 .... and some Logic Learners

   with Visual Tracking problems

  • Students with 'right brain and right eye dominance' are kinesthetic learners.  Along with the ESL students, they comprise the majority of the dysfunctional readers in the national failure rate.  This group requires a remedial intervention program that is rapid and affective.

  • Educators and parents must face the reality -   Based on how students process information, there is a different way of teaching decoding skills.

Teaching phonics and syllables, using the logic (left) brain for instruction, is a documented failure for right brain (Gestalt) and kinesthetic learners.

  • ESL students experience the same problems learning how to correctly pronounce English because syllable methods are not consistent in controlling letters and letter cluster sounds, which is the basis of Read Quick's 3-Step System.

  • There are different basic types of language learners and a different way to teach them.

Gestalt, Kinesthetic, and ESL students  learn by materials that are:

  • Seen & Heard

  • Seen & Repeated

  • Seen & Used by the Student

Kinesthetic Learners  require some form of bodily movement while learning initial material or while studying to anchor the learning in their memory.  This group of students, about 25-30% in any given class, should not be prevented from some movement, if it does not disturb others.  Some processing symptoms are:

  • Looking away from the teacher to hear the material -

  • Rubbing their hands together -

  • Rubbing an arm, hand, leg, ear, neck, or twisting their hair.

Their general learning time for focusing on a reading lesson or lecture is approximately 10 minutes, then their Right Brain processing seeks other mental images and activities.  This is usually when conflict develops between teacher and student.

  See Savings Using Read Quick  

Classrooms can implement successful reading programs for 

YEAR 1  -  $ 6.60 per student (Class of 30)  -   YEAR 2 & ON  -  $ 00.00 

Schools with 500+ students can implement Read Quick for a cost of:

YEAR 1  -  $ 1.60 per student  -  YEAR 2 & ON  -  $ 00.00

 

Schools are spending thousands of dollars for materials to teach by the Direct Teaching method.  They are still using syllables for decoding that continues to fail 50-60% of our student population.  Direct Teaching can be implemented using Read Quick and the downloads on this website, which contain powerful teaching strategies for accelerated learning.    (Direct Teaching PDF)
