Help
English Language Learners Become Competent English Readers
English is one of the most difficult
languages to learn to read. In many languages, a letter
or vowel has one corresponding sound or pronunciation.
In English each vowel may have as many as 20 to 30
spellings, variations, combinations, and pronunciations.
Keys to Reading Success™ uses simple
picture clues and decodable patterns to teach over a
hundred vowel patterns and the numerous consonant
patterns and their pronunciations to help the learner
master the English language in the shortest possible
time. Teachers can take ELL students through the entire
course in phonics while they are in their ELL classes so
that when the students exit the program and are immersed
in regular education classes they will know how to read
English text.
The comprehension and vocabulary lessons help students
gain vocabulary skills and increase their comprehension
abilities. These skills help students read text in their
mother language as well as in English. Test-taking
strategies prepare students to perform well on state and
national tests.
Keys to Reading Success™ has helped thousands of
students learn to read English and can help your
students, too.”

aspects of reading with proven, explicit metacognitive
