Adolescents Severely Delayed in Reading

Even High School Age Non-readers Can Still Get Started. It's Never Too Late!

Severely delayed adolescent readers present an overwhelming challenge. They can't participate in regular instruction. They reject remedial instruction because they don’t want to be seen as being different. Often they contribute more than their share of the disruptions! Most schools have no choice but to accommodate them until they eventually drop out. The statistics are sobering:

• 3,000 students drop out every day
• 45% of minority students will not earn a High School degree
• 71% of incarcerated adults never graduated

What these students need is a different approach! Failure Free Reading consistently produces the reading growth, positive attitudes, and behaviors each student needs in order to learn --regardless of prior reading ability. Now even your hardcore non-readers can experience fluency and comprehension success using age-appropriate materials!
