Do you have students in your classes who read below grade
level? Do you have students who lack motivation to apply themselves to academic
study? Do you have students who present behavior problems in the classroom? Do
you have students who have excessive absence or other signs of dropping out?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, The
Language Enrichment Program should prove helpful to the students in your
classroom.
At a time when educational fads multiply, there really is a
need to focus on the basic problem of reading achievement. Much emphasis is
placed today on supporting reading achievement for grades one to three. But
research shows that many students falter in their reading development at some
point after that, and the grade level—reading achievement gap widens with each
succeeding year in school.
The Language Enrichment Program has helped students
narrow the gap at every grade level from middle elementary to middle school to
high school. When the program is used with the entire class, the class shows up
to two years improvement in reading comprehension in less than one semester of
work. Students are motivated to learn, and do better in all their classes.
Student retention is markedly improved. The program developer has had far fewer
of his students drop out of school than the school has as a whole. Even behavior
problems diminish and disappear as the students experience academic success made
possible by using The Language Enrichment Program.
The program may be used with the whole class or it may be
used on an individualized basis. All students benefit from its use because it
teaches language concepts painlessly. The program is not just suitable for
students who are behind; the developer has used the program as an enrichment
activity for gifted high school juniors and seniors.
The Language Enrichment Program is content centered,
not grade level or skill centered. It will work with students of any age (above
age 8) through adult.
Think there just isn’t room in the curriculum to add one
more program? Here is a program that improves student achievement so well that
students actually accomplish more with your regular curriculum when they have
been helped by The Language Enrichment Program.
Side benefits of the program include improved reading
speed, vastly increased understanding of language structure and grammatical
concepts, improved grades in all other subject areas, increased academic
motivation, and writing improvement. Students who use The Language Enrichment
Program do particularly well on state and standardized assessments. When
students have used The Language Enrichment Program, they get much more
out of the rest of the curriculum. |
