Why Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons is Effective in Helping Students Achieve Reading Success

 

Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons is an effective, affordable and easy-to-use reading remediation program providing you information and tools to:

• Help struggling/dyslexic readers overcome reading difficulty and advance their reading skills
• Help novice/intermediate readers advance to higher level reading ability

 

The key features and benefits of the Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons program that make it highly effective in helping struggling readers achieve reading success include:

• Designed specifically for advancing reading skills in older students and adults.  If you have a struggling reader 3rd grade or older this program is targeted for them.
• Empowers parents and teachers with information and effective tools. This program enables you to help your child or student acquire necessary skills and succeed in overcoming their reading difficulty (dyslexia).
• Direct instruction insures all necessary skills are explicitly taught to the student. It is never left to chance for a student to acquire necessary skills. Direct instruction is particularly critical in remediation as these students previously failed to acquire necessary skills.
• Carefully planned systematic presentation of skills and information allows the student time to acquire and practice skills before more complexities are added. This systematic approach helps the student manage and overcome difficulties of reading our complex English language. 
• Directly teaches all  foundational subskills essential for proficient reading:
• phonemic awareness
• proper directional tracking
• knowledge of the complete phonemic code
• smooth blending of sounds
• attention to detail
• Directly teaches the student to integrate and apply these fundamental skills to the process of proficient print-to-sound phonologic processing. Direct instruction and repeated practice builds and strengthens these necessary foundational skills before adding complexities and advanced skills.
• A strong direct systematic phonics approach intentionally develops phonologic processing pathways. Validated evidence based research and the neural imaging studies both show direct systematic phonics instruction is effective in improving reading skills. See How Reading Works for additional information.
• 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 student 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 student to clearly see and physically manipulate the accurate phonetic structure of our language. The tiles provide a tangible way for the student to learn correct phonologic processing. These sound tile activities are especially beneficial in remediation situation because they force correct phonologic processing.  
• The complete phonemic code (printed letter=sound) is directly taught to the student. 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 complete printed letter=sound code an essential subskill for proficient phonologic processing.   
• Extends beyond basic phonologic processing and provides tools to directly help the student develop higher level advanced skills in:
• handling multisyllable words
• building fluency
• expanding vocabulary
• developing reading comprehension
• Bonus! Includes a complete spelling section.
• Designed for one-on-one instruction by a parent, teacher or other caring adult. This individual approach allows you to evaluate the student, identify specific deficiencies, target instruction, monitor carefully, and adjust to ensure the student learns necessary skills. This individual approach allows effective, efficient instruction and helps ensure success.   
• All aspects of the program were designed and developed working with actual students. The author developed, modified and adapted material and activities to ensure students succeeded. In addition to effective techniques, the technical skills and explanations are given in a student-understandable manner.  The program includes helpful student-tested solutions for common problems.
• 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. Even individuals who have never taught a child to read before can use successfully use this program.  The program is designed for parents or other caring individuals teaching their child or student in a child in a home or tutoring setting. However, the program is also effective and ideal for individual tutoring or pullout situations in a school setting. Because the program is user-friendly, parent volunteers or teaching aides can successfully implement this program with minimal training.  The easy-to-use aspect of the program allows greater opportunities for schools to help struggling students receive the individual help they need.
• The program is affordable. It only requires the $30 book, and common inexpensive materials including paper, pencil, index cards, and homemade 'sound tiles'.
