Program called Reading Plus?

[beth in md]

Hi, has anyone here tried a program called Reading Plus, to teach silent reading strategies for struggling readers? Someone at a local tutoring company recommended it to me.

My 11 year old twins are making good progress on fluency with the Six Minute Solution, but I was wondering about this other program too. It costs around $350 total so I don't want to try it without hearing more.

They don't like to read and never read anything other than picture books for pleasure. Even then, they usually only look at the pictures to try to figure out the story. They both decode really well, so they can read, but really struggle with comprehension.

I have a friend that is an outstanding ps teacher and she got the school to use this program. She highly recommends it. Her students that use it consistently make progress. She uses it with her own daughter.

I have held off just because of the cost.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info! It's good to know someone has actually used it and found some success.
