For Parents
Help is here!
If your student needs reading help, get The Language
Enrichment Program to provide it!
This program works with students of any age (above age 8)
through adult.
If your student needs to improve grades in reading or
English (language arts), this program will help.
Raise your student�s grades not only in reading but in all
academic subjects. Help your student become a more successful student, able to
read and eager to learn.
The program is entirely self-instructional and
self-contained. It does not require any special skill for the parent to use it
effectively in the home. Some parents have been inspired to use The Language
Enrichment Program to boost their own academic skills even as they help
their own children.
Students who fall behind in reading achievement experience
an ever widening gap between their reading comprehension grade level and their
actual grade level the more years they remain in school.
Students who fall behind in reading find it difficult to
graduate from high school. College entrance may become impossible; if students
enter college and fail to catch up there, they find it impossible to complete
college and graduate.
Improved achievement results from using The Language
Enrichment Program in the home. The results are nearly immediate, automatic,
and permanent. Your student will experience improved reading comprehension and
writing skill, increased academic motivation, and improved achievement in all
other academic classes. Your child will learn more and get better grades in all
classes.
Many students who use The Language Enrichment Program
learn so well that they catch up to their proper grade level in reading, and
some students achieve at a level as many years ahead of grade level as they were
once behind. On average, students gain two years in reading comprehension grade
level by working this program. Some students gain much more, a few less. Those
who gain less can gain more by working the program over again at a later time.
Students learn so much about the English language as they
use The Language Enrichment Program that they will know more about
language structure and English grammar than most educated adults do, and may
know some things that even their teachers haven�t learned. This solid knowledge
base permits your student to learn many other subjects with greater ease and
success.
How to Use It
The Language Enrichment Program is simple to use. It
is self instructional, meaning that your student can use the program with little
or no help. Simply start at the beginning, and answer each of the reading steps
in order. Students write all answers on their own paper, so the program can be
re-used with other family members.
The program is divided into twenty-five chapters with a
total of seventy-nine short exercises each including numbered reading steps.
This plastic spiral bound loose leaf size sturdy cover book is 290 pages long,
with 260 pages of lesson material, 20 pages of answer keys and explanations,
with six pages of introductory material including table of contents.
The program takes from 24 to 75 actual clock hours to
completely finish. The variation in time reflects the fact that some students
work faster than others. How long they take has no bearing on the outcome:
slower working students learn just as much as the faster students do, and all
improve in reading comprehension. Students should spend no less than fifteen
minutes for a learning session. Motivated students can work for as long as they
wish. Younger students may need to work in shorter segments, though even they
may be motivated to work a chapter at a time. Some students may tire after
working the program for an hour, but many other students want to work longer.
Students progress at their own speed, and should absolutely not be held back.
The program may be used daily, or just a few times a week. Of course, the more
regularly and often the program is used, the sooner the student will experience
its benefit. Within reason, missing work on the program for a few days now and
then has no negative effect upon achievement gains. Students can easily start up
right where they left off.
A very few students are unmotivated and resist help. The
achievement outcomes produced by The Language Enrichment Program are not
affected by student attitude. If students work the material, the results are
automatic. The material is purposely presented in short exercises to overcome
the resistance that reluctant or discouraged learners bring to the learning
environment. The Language Enrichment Program is an especially successful
teaching tool which reaches such students. Students find that learning is
painless when they use The Language Enrichment Program and are soon
motivated to excel.
The Language Enrichment Program has been carefully
designed and tested by the program developer during more than three decades of
classroom research and development. Besides this long and successful use in the
classroom, the developer used The Language Enrichment Program in home
settings to tutor needy students, to home school his two sons, in community
settings, and with students learning English as their second language. The
program is absolutely known to work. It does exactly what the developer claims
it does.
Although The Language Enrichment Program is
especially successful with students that are below grade level in their reading
comprehension, it is not a remedial reading program. It can be used equally well
as enrichment learning for advanced and gifted learners of any age.
Get The Language Enrichment Program and give your
student the literacy boost needed to become a highly motivated and successful
learner.
