A Better Approach to Reading Improvement The Read Right Reading Intervention Program and the Read Right Primary Core Curriculum intentionally compel the brain to integrate all of the neural activity required for efficient and effective reading. Everything changes for students when they implicitly begin to ask, What does the text say? rather than What is that word? The following activity demonstrates that reading involves much more than individual word identification. Excellent readers can read this quickly and efficiently, even though decoding, word attack, or sight word recognition will not work with the longer words: Aocdcrnig to rseecrah at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dsenot mttaer in waht oderr the lterets in a wrod are, the olny irpoamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rhgit pclae.

When our highly structured methods are followed by educators, every student is constantly and purposefully working to ground the act of reading in the construction of meaning and to produce excellence with every passage of text.
