BLENDING provides interactive course materials for a tutor-led intensive blending and phonics intervention for older students with severe reading deficits.
Most middle-school classrooms have at least one student who cannot make sense of a grade-2 chapter book; they will make no further progress without an intensive intervention. The research is clear: almost all students become strong, competent readers with proper instruction. This program specifically addresses the needs of older students.
An intensive intervention prescribes one-on-one tutoring for at least an hour per day, ideally two hours, at least five days a week. With this attention, students typically gain a full year of reading ability *per month*. That has been our experience too.
