Imagine having a reading specialist and speech pathologist individualize reading instruction for each of your students. With the use of an emulated teacher, My Reading Coach can guarantee that even the lowest stanine students will improve. The software provides instruction in the areas of Phonemic Awareness, Phonics Sounds and Rules, Vocabulary, Word Structure, Syntactic Processing and Reading Comprehension.

My Reading Coach is scientifically research based software that teaches students to read or improve reading in 40-60 hours. The company guarantees a 10 -30 percentile point improvement for struggling readers with program completion.

Pretesting ensures that a student is entered into the program at the appropriate level. Each lesson begins with a teacher providing interactive instruction which assists the student with correct pronunciation. Students progress at their own rate, repeating a lesson if needed until mastery is gained. Individual feedback is given to the student based on his responses, and the comprehension level is automatically adjusted as needed. Students receive spelling instruction by learning underlying patterns, not memorization. Rules are taught with easy to remember strategies for implementation.

ELL students who comprehend English will also benefit from the program. The newest edition also includes expanded Spanish instruction and directions.
