Dear Parents,
For the following twenty years, I have actively developed a research-based methodology that would work for the estimated 440,000 students sitting in America's classrooms with a total sight vocabulary of less than 50 fifty words! I called that methodology The Failure Free Reading Methodology because it was so successful with these hard-core non-readers.
I also found some very exciting and positive news about working with non-readers. First and foremost is that they can succeed. We are experiencing an 88% success rate and higher with students, across the nation, testing below the 10th percentile!
Secondly, we can provide a productive reading experience that meets the critical needs of non-readers; such as:
- the need to work in age-appropriate materials
- the need to read independently
- the need for a consistent approach
- the need for repetition
- the need to see immediate progress
- the need to develop confidence
- the need for success
- the need to be challenged
- the need to learn at the fastest appropriate rate
- the need to self-correct
- the need to learn by doing
Finally, while many reading programs state that they work with the bottom 20 percent, what they really mean is that they will serve students who go as low as the twentieth percentile and no further. If they do go further down, they generally do so under strict restrictions such as: the exclusion of special education students, previously retained students and non-english speaking students.
Failure Free makes no such restrictions.
The Failure Free Reading Program is so successful because it reduces reading to its simplest form. It does this by controlling for the instructional factors crucial to reading success: repetition, sentence structure, and story content. Failure Free Reading incorporates the best of all reading philosophies into an exciting, easy to use, workable program for America's students.
Failure Free Reading was originally designed for use in the classroom now thanks to the demand from dedicated parents we are able to offer the Failure Free Reading program as an in home solution.
Please take the time to look over our site. Call our clients and take pleasure in knowing that there really is a workable solution for your child, regardless of age or reading level. I only wish I had it twenty years ago when I was working with Alan, David and Jeff.
Respectfully,
Dr. Joseph F. LockavitchPresident - Failure Free Reading
