Why Right Track Reading Lessons is Effective in Helping Children Learn to Read
Right Track Reading Lessons is a highly effective direct systematic phonics program. This mom-designed and kid-tested phonics program is based on validated research. This affordable ($25), easy-to-use program gives you the tools to get your child on the right track 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
- This strong direct systematic phonics approach intentionally develops phonologic processing pathways. See How Reading Works for additional information.
- The program directly teaches all the foundational subskills essential for proficient reading including:
- Phonemic awareness
- Proper directional tracking
- Knowledge of the complete phonemic code
- Smooth blending of individual sounds into words
- Attention to detail
- Directly teaches the students not only to master these essential foundational skills but how to integrate and apply these fundamental skills to the process of proficient print-to-sound phonologic processing.
- Direct instruction and repeated practice with decodable text builds and strengthens these 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 kid-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 $25 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 includes advanced lessons that develop skills in reading multisyllable words and a helpful spelling section.
- The program is guaranteed effective. See Right Track Reading Guarantee
