FPLA Programs transform struggling readers to successful and confident lifelong learners
Reading (decoding)-comprehension and writing are essential life skills needed to succeed at all stages of life. One must be able to read and comprehend to learn other subjects including another language. A lesser known fact is deficiencies in reading and comprehension lead to low self-esteem, loss of confidence and overall mediocre performance among the young children. These students fail in other subjects, such as social studies, science, religion, and mathematics as well.
A National Science Foundation datashow about 65% of the fourth graders read below their grade level. Proactive interventions in the form of one-on-one tutoring, focused assistance and consistent follow-up have helped remedy the deficiencies in reading and comprehension. Left unattended, these students drift off. Therefore, it is not surprising that about 74% of twelfth graders performed below grade level in mathematics.
Reading-comprehension is a fundamental skill needed to learn other subjects including mathematics.

This program teaches basic reading techniques, inculcates effective reading skills and establishes lifelong learners. We use McGraw Hill SRA’s Corrective Reading manual, placement, continuous assessment tests, teacher, and student handbooks. On need basis, we include spectrum reading to supplement comprehension and writing skills.
Following an initial need assessment interview, we administer a time-tested research-based decoding-comprehension diagnostic test.
