We really love the intensive focus on many of the skills our high school students should have mastered in elementary school—like phonics and phonemic awareness—as well as the built-in interventions that make it easy to remediate in real time.
Two strands, one proven solution—Corrective Reading includes Decoding and Comprehension strands that can be used together or independently, ensuring tailored support for Grades 3 and up. Fully integrated assessments ensure students are placed at the appropriate level, progress is monitored, and students are guided appropriately through the program.

Corrective Reading Decoding supports students reading below grade level by addressing all critical components of reading—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Corrective Reading Comprehension delivers intensive, language-based instruction for students needing support with vocabulary, background knowledge, and reasoning skills. Structured lessons build the foundations essential for strong comprehension.
