Why Right Track Reading Lessons is Effective in Helping Children Learn to Read
Right Track Reading Lessons is a highly effective reading instructional program.
This easy-to-use direct systematic phonics program is based on the science of proficient
reading and valid evidence based research. This affordable ($30), easy-to-use, multisensory
program provides parents and teachers effective tools to lead their children to
reading success.
Right Track Reading gives you the tools to successfully:
- teach your young child or student how to read
- advance reading skills in your novice or intermediate reader
The key elements and benefits of the Right Track Reading Lessons program that make
it highly effective in teaching children to read include:
- The program uses a direct systematic phonics approach shown by validated research
to be the most effective method of teaching children how to read. Right Track Reading
Lessons has been reviewed and approved as a recommended phonics product by the National
Right to Read Foundation www.nrrf.org
- Phonemic awareness
- Proper directional tracking
- Knowledge of the complete phonemic code
- Smooth blending of individual sounds into words
- Attention to detail
- Correct ‘proficient reader’ phonologic processing
- Directly teaches the students not only to master these essential foundational skills
but how to integrate and apply these foundational skills to the process of proficient
print-to-sound phonologic processing.
- Importantly, the program provides sufficient guided practice with decodable text
to firmly establish proficient reader print-to-sound phonologic processing. The direct
instruction and repeated practice with decodable text builds and strengthens necessary
foundational skills and phonologic processing pathways essential to proficient reading.
- Direct instruction insures all necessary skills are explicitly taught to the student.
Learning essential skills is not left to chance. Your child will not inadvertently
miss acquiring necessary skills.
- To make it easier for your child to learn, skills and information are presented in
a systematic manner. This carefully planned presentation allows the child time to
learn and practice newly acquired skills before more complexities are added. This
systematic format helps the child manage the difficulties of learning to read our
complex English language.
- The complete printed letter=sound code is directly taught to the child. The program
starts with the basic sounds but also directly teaches the vowel combinations, r-controlled
vowel combinations, and other complexities that are often the source of reading problems
in children. Direct instruction and repeated practice help the child develop automatic
knowledge of the printed letter=sound code an essential subskill for proficient phonologic
processing.
- A variety of targeted multi-sensory activities help your child build necessary skills
for proficient reading. Writing sounds, word making, and sound changing activities
integrate visual, kinetic, oral and auditory skills to help the child master proficient
reading. The use of the 'sound tiles' in the work making and word changing activities
are especially effective in helping the child develop phonemic awareness, reinforce
directional tracking, create a direct and automatic link between printed letters
and sounds, teach smooth sound blending and establish correct phonologic processing
so they learn to read proficiently. These 'sound tiles' enable the child to clearly
see and physically manipulate the phonetic structure of our language. Additional
fun games such as fishing for sounds and sound memory provide terrific and fun ways
for the child to build necessary skills.
- The necessary technical skills and explanations are given in a child understandable
manner. The program includes helpful kid-tested solutions for common problems such
as blending difficulties and letter confusion between b,d and p.
- The program is affordable. It only requires the $30 book, and some common inexpensive
materials like paper, pencil, index cards, and homemade 'sound tiles'.
- The step-by-step format and clear directions of this well organized program are easy-to-use
for parents and teachers. The straightforward, user-friendly design allows any literate
caring adult to successfully teach a child to read in a one-on-one setting. Individuals
who have never taught a child to read before can successfully use this program. The
program is designed specifically for parents, teachers or other caring individuals
to teach their child or student in a home, tutoring or other one-on-one setting.
The program is also highly effective and ideal for individual tutoring in a pullout
situation in a school setting. Because it is user-friendly, volunteers or teaching
aides can successfully implement this program with minimal training. The easy-to-use
aspect of the program allows greater opportunities for school to help struggling
students receive the individual help they need.
- The program extends beyond phonologic decoding to help children develop higher level
skills. The program includes advanced lessons that develop skills in:
- Handling multisyllable words
- Building fluency
- Developing reading comprehension
- Bonus! The program includes a complete SPELLING section (with 31 helpful spelling
lessons)
