Blog A Parent Speaks Up for Read Right

March 26, 2025

Last spring (2024), parent “P.H.” met with a teacher and heard the words no parent wants to hear. It went something like this: Your child hasn’t caught on to reading yet. I recommend he repeat 1st Grade.

But P.H. had something that his child’s school didn’t have: confidence that his child could succeed, if he had the right help with reading.

That’s when he found Read Right methodology. The family eagerly signed him up.

Nine months later, their son was totally transformed. The data documents it:

From P.H.: “I would like to thank you for developing the Read Right program. We have seen substantial growth in (our son) in the almost year of being in the Read Right program. Please find attached ‘Star’ diagnostic reading scores for him dating from January of 2024 (during his 1st grade year) to Jan of 2025 (during his 2nd grade year). Keep in mind that his Title I teacher recommended retention and repeat of more of the same reading techniques. We believed that another year of the same old same old would not be in his best interest, and thus began our search for a better approach. That better approach was Read Right.

“Our goal when we began this tutoring journey was to see (our son) achieve reading at grade level. Based on his scores he has accomplished and surpassed that goal. We can’t thank you enough for your Read Right program and all that it has done for our son.”

In a follow-up note, P.H. acknowledged what Read Right Developer Dee Tadlock, Ph.D., has known since she developed Read Right 40 years ago. In his words: “The human brain is a wonderful thing and the learning ability is supercharged in a child. You’re right the environment is key. Learning to work with, instead of against (the supercharged brain) is such a crucial paradigm shift that is desperately needed in our education systems.”

Thank you, P.H. We love hearing from our clients.
