Everyday, children struggle and fail in school due to reading problems. All the additional hours of homework create tension at home and frustration for the child. Teachers who insist a child will do better, "...if only he would pay attention," don't solve the problem, and having a student re-read a paragraph repeatedly in order to understand, doesn't deal with the underlying weakness.

Schools emphasize decoding when teaching reading skills but schools generally do not teach the underlying skills needed for effective reading comprehension. Without reading comprehension help, struggling learners do poorly on tests and don't gain the knowledge needed for success. No skill is more important to success than reading comprehension.

Reading comprehension can be improved.

The ReadingFish^© program for reading and listening comprehension has been successfully helping students for the past 6 years. On standardized tests, reading comprehension scores go up an average of 3 years in just 7 weeks.

ReadingFish^© is the first program to integrate and sequentially apply three types of instructional practice identified by independent research as effective at improving reading comprehension. ReadingFish^© includes:

• Highly structured ‘visual imagery’ instruction (a core skill for comprehension)
  
• ‘Cognitive skills training’ to improve working memory, attention and visualization skills
  
• Instruction and practice developing ‘meta-cognitive comprehension strategies’
  

ReadingFish^© is an effective home school program because it is easy to administer and fun for the student. The program is highly structured with small steps so the student is continually experiencing success. The ReadingFish^© reading comprehension program includes both written and video training to make it easy for the parent to be successful with home school instruction.

ReadingFish^© is an effective learning program because it employs research-based teaching techniques that include multi-sensory instruction and scaffolded, direct instruction. The way information is introduced, developed, reinforced and practiced is based upon years of independent research and classroom verification.

ReadingFish^© is effective at improving reading comprehension because it is administered one-to-one. No instructional method is more effective than one teacher responding to the needs of one student.

ReadingFish^© is effective with learning problems because it has been developed and refined in a clinical setting. Six years of experience involving multiple clinicians, a variety of students with a wide range of needs, have resulted in the most dramatic gains, in the shortest time, for any reading comprehension program available.

ReadingFish^© is guaranteed to be easy, fast and effective.

Waiting doesn't solve learning problems, your action does.
