2010 Summer Program
After 18 hours of tutoring at a community summer camp for at-risk struggling readers in grades 1 - 3 (from June to August 2010), students averaged nearly a year's progress (8/10 of a year) on the Woodcock-Johnson Assessment of Word Attack Skills. The volunteer tutors received 6 hours training in how to use Fletcher's Place with struggling readers.
Unlike traditional curricula that rely on “drill and kill” techniques, Fletcher’s Place ™ captivates young readers through multi-sensory, physically active, interactive activities, including a broad variety of structured games, songs, teaching props, storybooks, and short video lessons.
Teachers and parents agree: Fletcher’s Place builds confidence in students’ ability to learn and increases their desire to read and write.
Our challenge to you: Give us your struggling preschool and early-elementary readers, the ones who are not making progress with any other program - and we guarantee they will make extraordinary gains.
Most struggling readers are right brain learners. The Reading Revolution (R) techniques provide a balance of left and right brain reading strategies that benefit all learners but are particularly effective for your struggling, at-risk students. See chart below.
