Why it works

The Language Enrichment Program may well be the only practicing teacher-written classroom developed and tested program for reading improvement available. This program was not written in an ivory tower or in publisher�s offices, but was written by the developer to solve the reading problems of the students in his own classroom. Clearly, since the program worked successfully in the very adverse conditions the developer faced in his classroom, the program will work anywhere with anyone.

The Language Enrichment Program is much more than a workbook, which at first glance it superficially resembles. The Language Enrichment Program teaches its content effectively through a series of rigorously tested steps which have been revised until they were proven to work. The ongoing process of validation spans more than three decades of teacher research and successful classroom use, making The Language Enrichment Program the most carefully validated, meticulously devised, classroom tested reading program on the market today.

The Language Enrichment Program is the most efficient, direct solution to any student�s need to improve his or her reading comprehension and enhance academic success.

• The Language Enrichment Program succeeds with learners of all ages (children above age 8 through adults) because it is content centered, not grade level or skill centered. Learning the subject matter thoroughly is what produces the significant reading gain (as measured by any standardized test or other assessment) this program produces.
   
• The Language Enrichment Program teaches its content so thoroughly that students master the concepts conveyed, something other modes of instruction cannot match.
   
• The Language Enrichment Program permits students to go beyond the usual �learning about� a subject to the higher level of actually learning the subject, the research-based key to reading improvement.

o      Mastery of content is accomplished by expanding the student�s knowledge base through several effective instructional strategies including spiral learning, and developing student knowledge in depth in manageable increments or small steps.

o       Responding to the program�s prompts requires students to repeatedly practice inductively taught inference skills, a process that develops a high degree of reading competence and subject matter knowledge.

o       Reading improvement correlates highly with quantity of reading and depth of learning. The Language Enrichment Program�s twenty-four chapters, seventy-five lesson segments, and approximately 2500 discrete steps to which the student responds directly provides the quantity of reading, the variety of inferential comprehension tasks, and the in depth knowledge base required for significant permanent gains in reading achievement and proficiency.

• The Language Enrichment Program permits every student to be successful because content is presented in understandable steps or segments, reviewed, applied, and further expanded (the spiral approach) in subsequent lessons.
   

• The Language Enrichment Program is unique among reading programs because it is self-instructional. Students learn independently (without the constant need for teacher, parent, or tutor assistance) at their own speed.

• The Language Enrichment Program is concept centered, not skill centered; this is not �drill and kill� grammar instruction but knowledge base expansion, the key to academic improvement. Learning content this way to this depth consistently improves student reading achievement levels, the goal of this program.
   
• The Language Enrichment Program enriches student knowledge of linguistics and structural grammar to provide a solid foundation for further language study and acquisition, and writing instruction. Students who complete the program find that they are more successful in all other academic learning.

The Language Enrichment Program is now available to help your child, student, or yourself successfully meet academic goals by improving reading comprehension. Any student who works through the program will reap the benefit. This program works. Order it today.
