Why Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons is Effective in Helping Students Achieve
Reading Success
Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons is an effective, affordable and easy-to-use
reading remediation program providing you information and tools to:
- Help struggling/dyslexic readers overcome reading difficulty and advance their reading
skills
- Help novice/intermediate readers advance to higher level reading ability
The key features and benefits of the Back on the Right Track Reading Lessons program
that make it highly effective in helping struggling readers achieve reading success
include:
- Designed specifically for advancing reading skills in older students and adults.
If you have a struggling reader 3rd grade or older this program is targeted for
them.
- Empowers parents and teachers with information and effective tools. This program
enables you to help your child or student acquire necessary skills and succeed in
overcoming their reading difficulty (dyslexia).
- Direct instruction insures all necessary skills are explicitly taught to the student.
It is never left to chance for a student to acquire necessary skills. Direct instruction
is particularly critical in remediation as these students previously failed to acquire
necessary skills.
- Carefully planned systematic presentation of skills and information allows the student
time to acquire and practice skills before more complexities are added. This systematic
approach helps the student manage and overcome difficulties of reading our complex
English language.
- phonemic awareness
- proper directional tracking
- knowledge of the complete phonemic code
- smooth blending of sounds
- attention to detail
- Directly teaches the student to integrate and apply these fundamental skills to the
process of proficient print-to-sound phonologic processing. Direct instruction and
repeated practice builds and strengthens these necessary foundational skills before
adding complexities and advanced skills.
- A strong direct systematic phonics approach intentionally develops phonologic processing
pathways. Validated evidence based research and the neural imaging studies both show
direct systematic phonics instruction is effective in improving reading skills. See
How Reading Works for additional information.
- A variety of targeted multi-sensory activities help your student build necessary
skills for proficient reading. Writing sounds, word making, and sound changing activities
integrate visual, kinetic, oral and auditory skills to help the student master proficient
reading.
- The use of the 'sound tiles' in the work making and word changing activities are
especially effective in helping the student develop phonemic awareness, reinforce
directional tracking, create a direct and automatic link between printed letters
and sounds, teach smooth sound blending and establish correct phonologic processing
so they learn to read proficiently. These 'sound tiles' enable the student to clearly
see and physically manipulate the accurate phonetic structure of our language. The
tiles provide a tangible way for the student to learn correct phonologic processing.
These sound tile activities are especially beneficial in remediation situation because
they force correct phonologic processing.
- The complete phonemic code (printed letter=sound) is directly taught to the student.
The program starts with the basic sounds but also directly teaches the vowel combinations, r-controlled
vowel combinations, and other complexities that are often the source of reading problems.
Direct instruction and repeated practice help the student develop automatic knowledge
of the complete printed letter=sound code an essential subskill for proficient phonologic
processing.
- handling multisyllable words
- building fluency
- expanding vocabulary
- developing reading comprehension
- Bonus! Includes a complete spelling section.
- Designed for one-on-one instruction by a parent, teacher or other caring adult. This
individual approach allows you to evaluate the student, identify specific deficiencies,
target instruction, monitor carefully, and adjust to ensure the student learns necessary
skills. This individual approach allows effective, efficient instruction and helps
ensure success. The program is ideal for pull out intervention.
- All aspects of the program were designed and developed working with actual students.
The author developed, modified and adapted material and activities to ensure students
succeeded. In addition to effective techniques, the technical skills and explanations
are given in a student-understandable manner. The program includes helpful student-tested
solutions for common problems.
- The step-by-step format and clear directions of this well organized program are easy-to-use
for parents and teachers. The straightforward user-friendly design allows any literate
caring adult to successfully teach a child to read in a one-on-one setting. Even
individuals who have never taught a student to read before can use successfully use
this program. The program is designed for parents or other caring individuals teaching
their child or student in a child in a home or tutoring setting. However, the program
is also effective and ideal for individual tutoring or pullout intervention situations
in a school setting. Because the program is user-friendly, parent volunteers or teaching
aides can successfully implement this program with minimal training. The easy-to-use
aspect of the program allows greater opportunities for schools to help struggling
students receive the individual help they need.
- The program is affordable. It only requires the $30 book, and common inexpensive
materials including paper, pencil, index cards, and homemade 'sound tiles'.
