What is English 95, Read Right?

• Read Right is an intensive reading improvement
  program developed by Dee Tadlock from Sheldon,
  Washington.
• Students in Read Right make rapid improvement in
  their reading proficiency.
• SFCC students average 6 hours of tutoring to
  improve one reading grade level.
• Nation-wide, students average 10 hours of
  tutoring to improve one grade level.

How does Read Right work?

• Students learn four methods which lead to rapid
  reading improvement
• 1. Excellent reading when students listen to a
  recording and read aloud to the tutor.
• 2. Coached reading when students read aloud to
  the tutor who coaches when necessary.
• 3. Independent reading when students read
  silently during class and at home.
• 4. Critical Thinking when students work in
  groups to analyze text.

How do I get started?

• A tutor will meet with each student to complete a
  consultation where reading level is assessed
• A tutor will meet with each student to give a
  start-up where students learn how to work with
  the recorded text and how to read with
  excellence.
• Once all four or five students have a
  consultation and a start-up, the tutoring
  sessions are ready to begin.

  meet daily for 50 minutes, some meet four days a
  week for longer sessions.

How Read Right changed my reading

• When I read, I feel different, I feel that it
  is easier. I dont struggle to read each word.
  I simply look at text, and it seems like text is
  talking to me. It flows in a line of thought as
  a result it is much easier to understand. It
  doesnt feel to me as though I am reading, it
  sounds. . . I dont know how to explain it.
  Maybe it is like reading someones thoughts.
  Its not about the text its all about meanings
  and I think I just get the meanings.
