Parents Can Teach Their Children to Read at Home

Parents are natural teachers. This is especially true for parents of children with special needs such as: Asperger's, Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities or Gifted (yes, I did say gifted). No one knows the personal learning needs of a child in need better than their parents.

In short, parents can teach their children to dramatically improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, word recognition, spelling or writing ability at home thanks Failure Free Reading's easy to use, nationally recognized home teaching program.

Eight Reasons Failure Free Reading Works so Well for Parents of Special Education



1. Failure Free Reading's Structure and Routine are Important When Teaching a Child to Read at Home

Students with Asperger's, moderate and mild Autism, Intellectual Disabilities, Dyslexia, and/or Learning Disabilities like to be taught at home in a structured environment. Knowing what is going to happen next reduces anxiety and frustration. This is why Failure Free Reading's Home Reading Program's consistent three-stage instructional approach is so well liked by parents teaching their special needs child at home.

2. The Failure Free Reading Parent Manual Contains Easy to Follow Guided Parent Instruction

All of Failure Free Reading's at-home reading lessons are totally scripted. The easy to follow lessons tell parents what to say to their child to improve vocabulary, expressive reading fluency and reading comprehension.

3. Failure Free Reading Teaches Critical Sight Words in the Most Comprehensible Story Format

Sight word mastery is crucial for reading success. Failure Free Reading teaches 2,000 of the most important sight words including the 220 words that account for an astonishing 55% of all the words used in print. Sadly, these are words that current reading programs are not teaching.

4. Failure Free Reading's Talking Software Accelerates Student Reading Ability

Talking software allows parents to work at higher instructional reading levels at home with their children. Talking software also promotes critical listening, vocabulary and comprehension skills.

5. Failure Free Reading's Approach Taps into the Brain's Non-phonic Reading Pathway

Brain researchers have found that the brain has two pathways for recognizing words. One pathway is phonic and the other is visual. Both pathways work. Both pathways compliment each other. Even better, one pathway can carry the load when the other pathway falters. Failure Free Reading allows parents of children who don't get phonics to tap into this exciting non-phonic first alternative.

6. Failure Free Reading Stories Allow Parents to Maximize their Child's Reading Comprehension, Word Recognition and Expressive Fluency

Text does matter in the teaching of reading. Not all stories are written equally. Reading researchers have found that many beginning reading stories are loaded with reading comprehension landmines and roadblocks that prevent children from comprehending what they are reading. Failure Free Reading is the first and only program to systematically attack these obstacles to comprehension such as: uncommon names, dates, places, difficult grammar, unfamiliar words, abundant use of pronouns and idioms.

7. Failure Free Reading Helps the Brain to Build More Reading Cells

Failure Free Reading was involved in an international brain research study that showed that it could actually build reading cells in the brain of poor readers after a mere 100 hours of Failure Free Reading instruction. Brain imagery researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the Failure Free Reading materials and approach actually help rebuild white cortical brain matter in the brains of poor readers. Parents now have the opportunity to use this very same Failure Free Reading approach at home with their child.

8. Failure Free Reading is an At-Home Reading Attitude Adjustment Program

Children who fail in reading in school sometimes develop negative attitudes. Researchers have found that children with poor attitudes toward reading reflect a number of characteristics such as: headaches, upset stomachs, or other psychosomatic illnesses that they use as excuses for nonparticipation in class. For struggling readers, their poor oral reading may subject them to embarrassment and peer ridicule, thus resulting in an even poorer attitude toward reading, causing them to hate reading activities altogether. Many withdraw or daydream or just stare into space. Others act out. Some may become aggressive, antisocial, and/or belligerent toward classroom peers, especially those who read well and who might make fun of their less successful classmates. Failure Free Reading nips negative attitudes in the bud by giving immediate success to those who need success the most.
