We have seen great success a within many Native American Nations.

Many Native American Nations including: Muckleshoot, Kalispel, and Spokane Nations in Washington State; the Yup’ik Nation in Alaska; the Cheyenne in South Dakota; the Sioux in North Dakota; have implemented Read Right Reading Program in their schools.

Read Right is Cost Effective When Measured by Cost Per Grade Level Gained

Serving the same student year after year is expensive

  • Read Right works to quickly eliminate reading problems

School dropouts are expensive

  • Read Right eliminates a major barrier to academic success

Losing Human Potential is expensive

  • Eliminating a reading problem gives the student ready access to information, ideas, and inspiration through print.

Many schools want to bring Read Right to their students, but where will they get the funding? Read Right’s extreme flexibility in dealing with various populations of students makes creative financing possible. Funds can be drawn from several different budgets and combined to invest in Read Right.

If I were to set up a Behavior Based Safety Process in a new plant, I would go through the same sequence again: I would solve the reading and English communication problems first using Read Right because of the fast results. The amazing thing is the Korbel team has cut safety costs 93% since. The lost time incident rate has been 0.00 for four consecutive years! People have to have reading and English skills first.
