remedial reading class in middleor high school stigmatizes and

2. Teaching poor readers in a

class is not intense enough to

accelerate growth in the leastamount of time.


11/15

Remedy: The most effective teachingmodel for reading remediation is that of

a personal reading trainer who

provides potent, one-on-oneinstruction during which the student

is totally engaged and the teacher is

totally attending.

teachers and students to focus more

readers) fractures the learning

environment.


13/15

Remedy: Because readingremediation requires building skills

rather than learning course

content, reading trainers would

minimize testing and

grading. Progress is best

monitored by observing the

student in the actual act ofreading.
