Reading Intervention for 

Remedial, Special Needs and ESL Students

Read Quick 3-Step System teaches the skills necessary for all students to become successful and competent readers.

Successfully Teach !

Right Brain Gestalt, Left Brain Logic,  Kinesthetic, Special Needs and ESL Students;  

  • System uses information stored in the auditory memory for connection to combinations when they are underlined for decoding.  

  • A decoding system that works and is easily understood by student and teacher for mastery;  

  • Students are able to accurately & rapidly mark and decode words while reading orally or silently;  

  • Combinations in 3 Step System are spelled and then pronounced like speech; basic requirements needed for reading fluency and comprehension.  

  • Outstanding system to use with direct teaching methods.  

  • Makes implementing the Carnegie Report (Gr.7-12) effortless.

Transfer of reading skills from computer to student's long term memory occurs when students apply the same rules learned in software lessons to using paper & pencil when marking unknown words met in oral and silent reading and in spelling lessons.

All sounds & spellings in the 3-Step System may be reviewed rapidly on a daily basis in less than 15 minutes.  For most students, with modest practice, this provides more than adequate review for mastery.  (See ‘Teaching Read  Quick’)

  • Read Quick 3-Step System becomes One-Step System as students control the C, G, Y and vowels;

  • When Combinations become the one & only step, student word control will dramatically improve reading fluency. 

It's just as easy as learning the alphabet !

National Educational Research reports:

"PULL OUT PROGRAMS" have NOT demonstrated to be permanently beneficial. When student returns to the classroom,  if the "classroom teacher" is not a strong "reading teacher" the "pull-out student" fails to maintain growth provided by "pull out reading teacher".  

Read Quick offers a distinct advantage for schools and districts.   Any teacher, in any subject,  would have the same strengths as the remedial teacher for 'decoding' skills and all students, regardless of their age or reading ability, would  have continuing reinforcement of the reading process.

How Does Read Quick Comply with the Basic Requirements for a Successful Intervention Program?   

  • Teaches a simple but comprehensive decoding system that allows Left Brain Logic, Right Brain Gestalt, ESL, special needs, dyslexic and remedial students in middle school, high school and adult education to rapidly learn how to decode words for reading fluency and comprehension.  A basic skill needed to make up for lost reading time and survive in their environment.  

  • Spellings and natural speech sounds are so accurate, speech therapists in public schools find the 3-Step system a tremendous asset in their speech lessons. 

  • Student Bookmarkers and/or copies of the Combination Chart provide students with constant reinforcement of the entire system while doing any activity with words; reading, spelling, taking a test, etc.

  • This 3-Step system decodes over 90% of English words.  Most words that reading experts say are non phonetic, (because they use syllables), are controlled by this system and phonetically pronounced; eliminating reader frustration when meeting one of the “non phonetic” words.  

REMEMBER -  ALL sounds of a letter, letter cluster, or a word are "phonic".  This should not be confused with a Phonic Reading Program that teaches syllables and only decodes 75% of the words phonetically.  

When using syllables, the "best" rule taught is the double vowel rule that is accurate only 44% of the time.  Some rules are only accurate 9-15% of the time. Finding phonemes and connecting with letters to make a syllable are basic reasons for dysfunctional readers.

Supplements & Teaching Aids Help to Implement Read Quick

Read Quick Interactive Software  -  Contains everything for learning basic decoding skills.  Lessons are voiced, visual and age appropriate; nothing too elementary or too advanced.  

Teacher's Guide  -  Contains enough information for anyone to conduct a productive reading group.  All students in this group should read orally as often as possible with appropriate discussion and group application of the 3 steps.

Worksheet masters - for all lessons are available in a packet that may be reproduced to provide students with transition from software to performance in a natural and effective manner.

Transition Packets - Contain paragraphs and short stories by reading level, with words marked using the Read Quick marking process.  Packets serve several purposes.   The most important is the transition from computer to print to rapidly develop visual memory for each component of the system for reading fluency.  This part of the program has been amazingly effective with the target group, especially dyslexic students.

Bookmarkers  (laminated 3" x  8" cards) - Contain the entire 3-Step System to be used at school and/or home.  This is a constant "tutor" for every student.  Lower functioning students will especially benefit from this and other features in the program.

Combination Flashcards - Another visual memory feature students can practice with anyone.

Wall Charts for Classroom (12" x 18")  -  Six wall charts contain: Combinations, 3-Step System w/Borrowers, Vowels w/Rules, Blends, 12 Prefixes w/long vowels & Suffixes.  All may be used as a constant reminder for reading and spelling.

Any reading material is a reading textbook when using Read Quick.  The reading material provides story content and Read Quick provides the decoding system, supplying students with the reinforcement and practice needed to overcome their reading deficiency.  

Read Quick's 3-Steps is the exact system used for spelling; precisely reciprocal, eliminating the need for a different marking system for spelling.  This provides the target group with decoding and spelling skills constantly reinforced.  

System decodes 90% of all easy to advanced words in English, allowing user to read college level materials.
