We offer three products for home use:
- Assessment and Reassessment Products
- Skill Builder Intervention Products
- Software that allows you to develop custom Assessments and Skill Builders
The Reading Success Lab products are targeted at children who have struggled in learning to read. These products include tools to identify the source of a reading problem, to help a student successfully overcome a reading problem, and to tailor intervention activities to the particular needs of the student. These products are based on more than 20 years of research at a University based research laboratory that developed effective procedures for working with children who have struggled in learning to read.
Research Behind the Products
Assessment - Testing for the Source of a Reading Problem
The Reading Success Lab Assessments are used to determine the nature of a reading problem.
Children have difficulty learning to read for many reasons and our assessments can often identify the underlying problem.
