 Given the diversity of individual needs within the classroom, each student is likely to receive instruction on an individually appropriate level less than 10% of the time. With the gap in reading achievement levels for students who have difficulty reading and writing widening with each academic year, schools must find new ways to close the achievement gap.
My Reading Coach is a broad-based reading tool that has been shown to effectively narrow the gap in reading abilities within the classroom. Results of both comparison group and controlled evaluation studies demonstrate improved reading achievement for readers in regular education classrooms.
The results for students who have had difficulty learning to read effectively, i.e., struggling and at-risk students, ELL/ESL learners and students with special learning needs, are dramatic. The results of numerous studies provide clear evidence that My Reading Coach makes significant and meaningful contributions to the literacy achievement of students of varying reading abilities, in particular, younger students and students reading below grade level. From an instructional perspective, My Reading Coach helps teachers to reach every student in the classroom, regardless of reading ability.

"The children worked on My Reading Coach approximately fifteen days. 17 of the 23 made passing scores on the retest. They averaged a 17.2 point gain. These results are amazing. One student had a 40 point gain in just three weeks!"
