If we want to change what students are capable of reading, we must also change how students read and why students read. To do this requires a comprehensive approach to reading instruction. Reading Plus begins with an assessment that measures a student’s reading capacity as well as his or her reading efficiency and motivation for reading. This allows for personalized and dynamically adjusted instruction that encourages independence, broadens interests, and builds knowledge. Educators easily monitor progress while using the integrated messaging tool to stay in dialogue with students as they experience the success of meeting individualized goals.
Reading Plus simultaneously develops all three domains of reading–physical, cognitive, and emotional–by integrating them in one personalized online reading program. Rooted in eight decades of research, Reading Plus is proven to increase achievement in students from elementary grades through college.
Reading Plus opens the gateway to discovering reading as a source of knowledge, insight, and joy. The result is not just a better reader, but a lifelong reader.
