What it is
Reading Plus™ is a comprehensive, evidence based software solution for reading assessment and improvement that develops foundational fluency skills for students of all ages. It is the result of over 70 years of research and development in the area of reading improvement technology. Reading Plus™ addresses all the elements of reading cited by the National Reading Panel including: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Comprehension and what is most important, Fluency.

The Reading Plus™ assessment tools and instructional programs are browser based and can be delivered through the internet for remote access and extended instruction, or through a local area network. Reading Plus™ has helped over 500,000 students become better readers and continues to be the reading intervention program that assists students who have not found help through other programs or teaching methods.


Why it works
While Reading Plus™ develops essential vocabulary, analytical reading and comprehension skills, it is the fluency building activities that make the system unique and successful. The system has been designed to assess and develop visual, perceptual and cognitive skills that are essential for fluent silent reading at adequate rates with excellent comprehension. These skills are subliminal, and involve over 15 high speed visual and perceptual processes that interact from 3 to 5 times per second as the reader's eyes move along lines of print.


Middle School Package
Reading Plus™ helps middle school students acquire foundational reading skills not addressed by most elementary and junior high curriculums. Supported by decades of studies, pedagogical concepts and successful results with thousands of students, Taylor Associates™ Reading Plus™ and the Visagraph™ Eye-Movement Recording System meet the scientifically-based reading research requirements mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. Reading Plus™ is the most comprehensive reading assessment and instructional system available for students in grades 5 through 8.
