Because it is so simple to decode words.                  

The simplicity of how Read Kwik works is the true power of this unique decoding system.

System allows students to rapidly decode an unknown word in context while reading orally or silently.  

Any reading material may be used for instruction and pleasure reading. This permits teachers or parents to select best reading content based on student need and curriculum objectives.

Every teacher in school may become a competent reading teacher for decoding by asking the following 3 questions:

• Any Combinations?

• Any Borrowers?

• Any vowels to mark short if you cannot prove them long?

3-Step System is an efficient and rapid reading intervention program for remedial students struggling to read. Users learn to pronounce long and advanced words correctly.

Each step in the system emphasizes specific sound & symbol control for each letter or letter clusters with correct sounds.

Early intervention using the system encourages and motivates remedial students because of their initial decoding success.

Develops rapid word identification; a process absent in the remedial reader, regardless of age. 

Speed of decoding unknown words is the key to having productive oral reading.  Traditional phonics is so complicated to correct at the time of need, teachers tell students the pronunciation, depriving them of a learning opportunity.

Program is taught by all instructors; teachers, aides, parents, and tutors, using precise guidelines for applying the 3-Steps; how to identify Combinations from visual memory, and how to apply the system on each word.

System provides a logical and methodical approach to basic reading skills. It prevents user frustration trying to find syllables and determining phonemes and their sounds.

Combinations identified by spelling and separated in speech are consistent; replaces "phonemes" that are not separated in producing speech and difficult to identify.

Provides an efficient spelling program and each application is precisely reciprocal to reading, accomplished with 3 steps.

Home school parents and guardians will be able to understand and monitor the system.  Lessons and methods for using the system are clearly explained and easily followed.

Learning time can be devoted to teaching and discussing material for comprehension and less time practicing decoding skills.

Read Kwik has all the advantages teaching phonics without the disadvantages teaching syllables.

Students retain mastery of the system after extended school vacations and may GAIN  2- 4 months in reading after summer vacation.   A reading LOSS of 2-4 months from June- September is typical with other programs.

Auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning styles are accommodated by lessons in the software:

      "See & Hear"     "See & Say"     "See & Do"
