Read Right must be the new "big thing." As of three weeks ago, 5 of my kids
are being pulled for 40 minutes every day for Read Right tutoring.
I haven't had time to study it myself, but I do know it takes intense
teacher training to be able to use Read Right as an intervention. (We're
talking about a minimum of 3 weeks of full-time training just to get
started.) In our school, RR is a 3rd tier intervention for kids who are
SIGNIFICANTLY below grade level in reading. (Like my 4th grader who
benchmarks at a GR level B.)
For the kids that are involved in Read Right, I can no longer work on
decoding/fix-up strategies with them or do word work as it applies to
reading - however you distinguish that. (They are still involved in our
Sitton word study.) They are not allowed to track with their finger. Also,
I don't meet with them in a small group setting anymore. They are involved
in independent reading/writing practice when they return to the room during
our literacy block.
We'll know if it "works" by the end of the year.

Subject: [MOSAIC] Question re Read Right
Does anyone have information about the Read Right approach to reading? I
have accessed their web pages - claiming spectacular results. But I can't
see anything concrete about their theory of reading or the strategies they
use.
Any info would be appreciated.
