PARTICIPATE
There are two main pathways for participation: 1) you, your children, or someone you know who needs help to become a proficient reader can participate in our online reading programs and/or 2) you can help set up a Reading Success Program in your community.
Pathways to reading proficiency
Womb to Classroom–the early years
Learning how to read proficiently is a process. It starts with building oral language skills and then linking those skills to print and helping children understand the relationship. Generally, when a child hears enough language, is shown print often in connection with being read to aloud, and is engaged in activities and conversation that build their language skills and creative thinking skills, they will become a proficient reader in kindergarten or 1st grade with most any reading instruction. Many children who have sufficient learning experiences will even enter kindergarten reading at a basic level. If a student did not develop enough language skills during this period, we offer access to an award-winning online program noted below that can help catch up students in kindergarten through 2nd grade, Reading Kingdom.
Sometimes, students have sufficient exposure to language but still struggle. There are programs noted below for kindergarten and above that can help. For this age, the information on this site and the references under the parent section should help you to succeed. Don’t overthink it. Just make sure your child hears a lot of positive conversation, is challenged to think, is read aloud to daily and shown the connection with print.
Kindergarten through 2nd grade
We work with schools when possible, but getting into schools is challenging. Our primary method is to work through community organizations and reach parents directly to provide access to a wonderful early reading program called Reading Kingdom. Often schools will offer access to the program to their parents for training at home. Parents must either have a computer with Internet access at home or can find alternative access through the school, a neighbor, or a local library. We often work with community organizations and churches when possible to help.
Any parent with sufficient resources can go to Reading Kingdom to purchase the program directly. It is very reasonably priced. We work through schools and community organizations to seek grants to make the program available at low or no cost for under-resourced families. Contact us to help set up a program in your community.
Third grade through 12th grade
If a student struggles with reading in the 3rd grade or above, it is important to understand why. Working with schools or nonprofit after-school programs we offer an important tool to evaluate the learning skill profile of students to determine if any weak cognitive processing skills may be impeding a student from learning efficiently. We have also teamed with a leading online assessment and instruction program to offer help to improve both math and reading skills. The name of the program is Let’s Go Learn.
In some cases, if the student is reading at a 2nd grade level or below, it may be best for them to start with the Reading Kingdom program. The graphics are geared to younger students, but the training is very effective for a beginning reader at any age.
If you have a student who falls into this category, we need to team with a school or nonprofit organization in your community to begin offering these programs. We appreciate your help to set up a relationship in your community.
Adult literacy and help for English Language Learners
The information in the section above applies for adult literacy and English Language Learners. To make it easy for you to access these wonderful and effective reading tools, we need to be able to work through a school or nonprofit organization in your community. We appreciate your help to set up a relationship in your community.
Tell others
Please help us to inform others. Once you understand how important it is for each child to receive sufficient reading, talking, and playing activities, we hope you will help us to spread this message. For now you can just email others you deem appropriate to visit our site to learn more. Soon, we plan to have the join function available and will provide a better mechanism to communicate information to your contacts.
Volunteer
Many families and children need help in order to achieve reading and academic success. Each community and school needs to create programs to help close the skill gap for these children. These programs need volunteers to work with families and the children to give them the learning experiences they are missing. Once you have joined, we will work to build programs in your community to help every child succeed. Follow the appropriate community site once established to learn more about volunteer opportunities.
You can also explore helping other families within your circle of influence.
Perhaps you can also help us to create a TRSM program in your community.
Become a lead organizer in your community
If there is not a TRSM Program in your community, you could help to create one. We are working to develop blueprints to help guide the process. Please contact us to begin exploring how you can help you community to address this great need.
Help raise funds or secure resources for your community program
Every local program can hopefully get started using existing resources. However, to properly serve every family, each local program will need to raise funds. We will provide templates and a blueprint for raising funds. We will also work to raise funding centrally to distribute to community programs.
