Methodology

Highly-structured language development instruction that directly teaches reading

Failure Free Reading's highly-structured, multi-sensory language development lessons explicitly teach word recognition, comprehension and fluency. Each passage is controlled in three ways vitally important to the most challenged readers:

• Repetition. High-frequency words are explicitly taught using high rates of structured practice, in multiple contexts.
• Syntax. Sentences are simple, active, positive, and declarative. No inverted phrases, dependent clauses, or negative, passive, interrogative sentences are used. All complex sentences are pre-taught.
• Semantics. No prior knowledge is assumed. All content is age/developmentally appropriate and culturally neutral, with no multiple meaning words, idiomatic expressions or figurative speech.

Failure Free Reading curriculum is a combination of teaching, text and technology.

Failure Free’s multi-modal instruction is also uniquely engaging. Students used to years of failure learn “I can’t." The very first lesson restores the “I can!” attitude essential to all learning.

These three different techniques allow self-practice and personal interactivity, along with a computer experience that will leave them motivated and encouraged.
