Hi, Heidi,
Since Tailored Reading, a primarily tutorial system I have been developing for
many years, is age neutral; it works with at-risk readers of any age. Key in the
method is to find and fill gaps in word knowledge (sightwords, phonics, and
vocabulary), which almost magically improves comprehension. I have begun a web
site to share these ideas which you can find at:
http://tailoredreading.cjb.net/ or
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Cyprus/8493/Homepage.htm
I'd love to have feedback on the ideas. More of the system will be added in the
near future
