Getting off to the right start is essential for elementary students. Students must be able to read independently, silently, and with appropriate rate and good comprehension if they are to succeed in elementary school and beyond. Yet silent reading is the area of reading that is taught the least and tested the most.
Reading PlusŪ picks up where phonics and oral instruction leave off. The research-based, scientifically tested Reading PlusŪ system develops silent reading fluency in elementary students in grades 3 and up, resulting in better comprehension, improved test scores, and academic success.
The system's web-based technology provides the engaging, scaffolded silent reading practice that students need to become proficient readers and independent learners. Reading PlusŪ builds sustained attention, word recognition automaticity, grade-appropriate reading rates, and extended vocabulary, which together form the foundation of proficient silent reading.
