Read Right Program

Thornwell's Reading Empowerment Program

We believe education is a powerful key to the future for kids! The enrichment, self-confidence, and empowerment that comes through growth in academics is a critical step in a child's development. Our unique reading intervention program, Read Right, is a critical piece of our continuum of care that creates excellent readers through a new way to learn.

How? Read Right's goal is to rewire the neural network in our brains that we use for reading, but let's make that a bit simpler.

Historically, we've been taught to sound out the words - using phonics and decoding - and string those sounds into words and phrases. For the overwhelmed or underperforming reader, this technique can confuse them further when trying to understand the purpose of punctuation, much less comprehension of the text. The Read Right curriculum encourages kids to derive meaning from the text they are reading. Through instruction and encouragement, tutors help the students figure it out on their own, which fosters confidence and a new comfort in reading they've never experienced before!
