A leader in reading instruction since 1971, the Institute helps educational organizations provide reading skills programs to the communities they serve. For more information, visit www.readingprograms.org.

Each class includes group instruction and individual coaching in reading speed, study skills, comprehension, and vocabulary. Students apply these skills in a classic novel as well as in textbooks and nonfiction.

Students reinforce what they have learned in class during four sessions of home practice. This practice consists of reading a classic novel, working with a comprehension-building DVD, and completing short assignments in the vocabulary workbook. The practice is well structured and enjoyable, with easy-to-follow instructions.

The maximum class size is twenty-eight students. The class size allows for each student to receive personal attention from the teacher, while also participating in lively group discussions.

Class instruction and program materials meet the needs of a wide range of students. The teacher provides individualized support and guidance based on each student's skill level and needs. The program gives students the skills they need as well as the opportunity to practice these skills under the teacher's guidance, so every student makes substantial progress.
