Middle school and high school students must effectively transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” They need to be able to read independently, silently, and with appropriate rate and good comprehension if they are to succeed in school and beyond. Yet silent reading is the area of reading that is taught the least and tested the most.

The Reading Plus® system picks up where phonics and oral reading instruction leave off, assisting students in developing the silent reading skills to become proficient readers and independent learners. The system provides middle school and high school students with the extensive engagement in high-success reading they need to attain effective reading rates, good comprehension, and strong contextual analysis skills.

Reading Plus® develops and improves silent reading fluency so middle school and high school students on all reading levels can keep pace with the amount and complexity of their reading material. The system’s structured activities are individualized for each student’s needs to ensure rapid and sustainable comprehension and silent reading fluency gains.
