What kinds of outcomes can educators expect with Failure Free Reading?
Students begin experiencing comprehension and engagement from the first lesson. They complete the program with sufficient vocabulary, comprehension and fluency necessary for successful participation in remedial and/or core instruction. Attitudinally, Failure Free Reading takes the blame off both teachers and students. Too often it is assumed that if students can’t read it’s because they don’t want to or they were poorly taught. Teachers tend to blame the students for not trying. Parents blame the teachers for not teaching. Why? Because they’re frustrated and don’t know who else to blame. This is wrong because the real culprits are materials and methods that fail to meet the needs of the lowest-achieving readers.
