Curriculum Director

Holmes County, MS

"We began implementing Failure Free Reading about a year ago as a Tier 3 intervention. The program has proven to be effective in helping non-readers when everything else seemed to produce little to no results. Because of (this) success, special education teachers have started asking about… using the program... We have even had parents and community persons request the use of the program..."

Director

Oasis Middle School, Bradenton, FL

"Oasis Middle School is a Title 1 Charter School. Many of our students are ADD, ADHD, Bipolar. We (implemented) three rigorous programs that take a creative and innovative approach to learning.  Failure Free reading is (one of them). By incorporating reading, writing and vocabulary instruction across the curriculum, Oasis Middle School has increased student achievement scores, Oasis Middle received a grade of A from the State of Florida. We believe that Failure Free had a part to play in that success… (and) highly recommend Failure Free to any school that desires to raise student achievement."

Special Education Teacher

Haysville (KS) Public Schools USD 261

"Wow, what a difference it made! I chose three of my lowest fifth grade readers… These kids had almost given up on trying to learn to read. All three students improved on their reading.  I saw a complete attitude change in these three students the very first day after they did the first lesson in the program… (they) couldn't wait to come to my class…This is a great intervention for the teacher to use who has used everything else with her non-readers and nothing is working with those students."
