Corrective Reading - Decoding

Written for students who have difficulty reading accurately and fluently, the Decoding programmes provide a unique blend of teacher-directed instruction and high-frequency practice to accelerate decoding. This proven intervention programme progresses from teaching letter sounds and blending to reading passages typical of textbook material. Detailed data on performance allows students to monitor their own improvement and experience success.

Appropriate for non-readers. Emphasizes basic decoding skills: rhyming, sounding out, sentence reading, and story reading. (65 lessons)

Levels B1 & B2: Decoding Strategies
Designed for struggling readers who do not read fluently or who confuse similar words. Teaches students to become automatic decoders, with the increased self-confidence to; read 90 words a minute by the end of B1 (65 lessons) and 120 words a minute by the end of B2. (65 lessons)

Level C: Skill Applications
Created for those who experience difficulty with vocabulary and complex sentence structures, this programme bridges the gap between advanced word-attack skills and the ability to read information material.
