The Reading Advantage
From kindergarten to high school graduation, kids with the right reading skills excel at school.
Kids Need New Skills for Each Stage of Their Success
Our programs develop the exact reading skills kids need to succeed in each part of the school year. With new book selections and skill lessons in every session, we help our students make continuous progress with reading.
Strong Readers Have a Positive Attitude Towards School
Our programs turn kids into strong, enthusiastic readers. As they succeed with lots of great books, their confidence and motivation grow. When faced with new challenges at school, they think, “I can do this."
Reading Skills Drive Overall Academic Achievement
Skilled readers perform better in every subject, even math! After taking our programs, students are eager to learn and less intimidated by homework, tests, and writing assignments. Success builds on success, year after year.
The Key to Lasting Success: Reading for Pleasure
Students who read regularly are always developing the skills and confidence to excel in every grade. In our programs, your child will establish the habit of reading for pleasure and reap its rewards this school year and beyond.
Our Programs Create Skilled, Enthusiastic Readers
All Institute of Reading Development programs have three core goals:
-
Strengthen Skills
Without solid reading skills, kids can struggle. Our time-tested curriculum will help your child master the right skills to succeed with reading in this semester and the next, and the next.
-
Build Confidence
Repeated success with the great books in our programs will give your child a sense of accomplishment and the willingness to take on every reading assignment with confidence.
-
Develop Motivation
With stronger skills and greater confidence, your child's motivation to read will soar. A growing love of books will transform your child as he or she looks to books for inspiration, again and again.
The Thrill of Getting "Lost" in a Great Book
There is simply no better motivator than getting ‘lost’ in a book, feeling like you’re part of the story, and living each adventure as your own. When kids experience this kind of absorption over and over, they read more, improve their skills, and build confidence. Our programs guide kids toward this experience step by step, helping them form strong connections to outstanding, age-appropriate books.
A Lifetime of
Limitless Benefits
Our students discover that the rewards of being a reader go well beyond school. Reading expands children’s horizons and gives them access to an endless source of inspiration and wisdom. As they imagine new possibilities, their dreams take flight. And best of all, reading empowers them to make these dreams come true.
