The way to become a better reader is by reading. This simple fact has many implications for secondary students. Most struggling adolescents regularly encounter instructional text that is too difficult for their current reading ability. They rarely read independently and they get little enjoyment from reading.
How do teachers ensure secondary students are getting the extensive reading practice required to build proficiency and independence when they do not enjoy reading?
By using 21st century technology, the Reading Plus® system provides a unique, independent practice environment designed to ensure immediate and frequent success. Adolescent readers build independent reading skills and confidence to prepare them for high-stakes tests, academic success, and challenges beyond secondary school.
"We found that Reading Plus improved the reading fluency not only of struggling readers, but of our top readers who thought they couldn't get any better. We've seen two, three, four grade levels of improvement of most of our students.”
