Flexible enough for small-group or whole-class use, Reading Accelerator makes it possible for striving readers and multilingual learners to close skill gaps and accelerate progress toward reading proficiency.
Teachers can get started after just one day of professional learning and continue learning as they implement the program. The program addresses essential phonics and decoding skills, strengthens fluency, and supports vocabulary and comprehension development in concise 20-minute lessons that can be implemented in as few as 11 weeks during the school year. It also offers a summer school sequence, emphasizing syllabication and vowel teams, to give students a head start on improving their literacy skills before the next school year begins. —making it ideal for summer learning.
