Independent Research validates the REWARDS’ instructional approach


SIGNIFICANT GAINS made across reading levels

“Post-tests indicated that after treatment and maintenance [of REWARDS], students in both high- and low-mastery groups made significant gains in word and text reading skills and in oral reading fluency as long as mastery level criteria were maintained at 80 percent and regardless of whether they practiced with passages or sentences.”

What I Love About REWARDS

Katie Benning, Master Reading Teacher, talks about why REWARDS works in her classroom at Jerry Zucker Middle School in North Charleston, SC, and how her students vastly improved capacity for breaking down multisyllabic words and words they don’t know.

 

"Our high school teachers are amazed and joyous over the progress our students are making. We put some sixth grade readers in the program and they jumped to eighth grade readability."
