Snapshot Results: District 3830- Philippines
The following results are from a study involving over 300 students using th Academy of READING and Academy of MATH at District 3830 in the Philippines. On average, students improved their reading and math levels after working on each program for only 8 hours.
"These results are so impressive that the Makati City Council is expanding our pilot program into 12 schools and we have established a Centennial Literacy Foundation to open programs in the various cities in Metro Manila and then expand to the other Rotary districts in the Philippines."
Tony Quila, District Governor – 3830
Academy of READING®
The Academy of READING is a powerful reading intervention software solution that builds fluency and automaticity in the foundation skills defined by the National Reading Panel, including phonemic awareness, sound symbol association, phonics, decoding and comprehension.
"Designed by two neuropsychologists, the program breaks the complex task of learning to read into a series of skills. The first involves learning to identify simple combinations of letters and linking them with the sounds they make. Students then move on to common words and sounds and gradually progress to reading complete sentences and longer passages. Some students learn by hearing better than by seeing.The computer program provides a way of combining both as well as engaging students in skills training exercises that are presented in the form of a game.A testimony from a student is, "It is the best program that I have been on.I think all kids should take it if they have trouble with reading."
Dr. Basil Springer, Past President, Rotary Club of Barbados South
