“ All students have raised their guided and independent fluency scores
significantly in eight months. I highly recommend this program because
it combines visual drills as well as fluency and vocabulary development
as students demonstrate their comprehension of complex passages by
responding to prompts that correlate with our state standards.

The Reading Plus Difference
Research shows that 70% of non-proficient readers and 30% of proficient readers process
text inefficiently. Inefficient reading is the hidden hurdle that prevents the development of
fluency, comprehension, and motivation.

“ Efficiency goes hand in glove with motivation and comprehension. Readers

need all three to be able to learn new ideas from books they read. Think
of it as a combination of skill, will, and thrill. Efficiency provides the skill,
motivation engenders the will, and comprehension leads to the thrill of
acquiring new ideas.
