How is this intervention unique?

Corrective Reading Program is designed to serve struggling readers in grades four and above, even if other approaches have been unsuccessful. The program is explicit, sequential, and designed for direct individualized instruction.

Decoding and comprehension portions may be used together or separately to customize lessons for each student. Pre-reading skills through seventh-grade reading level material are taught over four levels.

What does the research evidence say about the intervention?

Dr. Rachel Sermier and her team used CRP to teach 48 non-decoding elementary students, ages 6-13, with IDD to read and spell over seven months. The treatment group made medium effect size progress in word and non-word decoding, and spelling.

Is this intervention/curriculum available to parents and educators?

Yes, this entire program can be purchased directly through McGraw Hill Publishing Company. A vast number of resources are available for purchase in both print and online versions. Assistance from the publisher may be required to purchase the most appropriate level and texts.

What is the cost?

Cost is complex to determine per student. Teacher manuals, per level, range from $70-$200, and student workbooks run about $80. McGraw Hill Publishing Company offers advice.
