Failure Free Reading is Evidence-Based, Reliable, and Replicable
Well-grounded in theory, Failure Free Reading is also one of the most thoroughly researched programs in education. In scores of studies, the program consistently produces significant, sustained gains in word recognition/attack, comprehension, and spelling for the lowest literacy students — without the need for expensive tutoring or coaching. In study after study, student improvements are evident on standardized test scores, attitudes, behaviors, and self-confidence.
