According to research, the evidence is clear, a child's future reading progress is almost fifty percent determined the time they enter school. A child who isn't reading by the age of eight has only about a ten percent chance of leaving school literate.
What children require is more time reading and individual assistance with the Wise Eye program. There are areas of the brain as specialised for the written language as there are for the spoken language.
During the stages of "learning to read," children should, as soon as possible, attain reading rates equal to usual listening and speaking rates. Reading rates that are slower than accustomed aural rates make it difficult for children or adults to understand and remember what they read.
The silent reading rate goal for these students is somewhere between 125 and 175 words per minute, which equates to the usual speech rate. During the stages of "reading to learn," adequate reading rates should be in excess of usual speech rates. The goal is to build reading dates somewhere between 200 to 400 words per minute. Children should be able to recognise 18 out of every 20 words in a flash.
The Wise Eye program will assist your child to achieve his/her reading goal. The program has been designed to help poor readers develop into good readers and good readers to become better readers.
The Wise Eye program is available in English, Afrikaans and other languages.
