Remedial Reading & Reading Intervention





Innovative Decoding System 

 Based on New Technology

for Learning to Read !

Read 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.

Read 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.

Read 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 reminder of the 3-Step System for decoding. 

  • Read 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. 

  • Read 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.
