What people are saying about T.R.I.P:

"TRIP grew out of years of clinical work with students with reading problems. The same techniques used in one-on-one clinical lessons can now be done at home with parental guidance at far less cost with this interactive video program. The program is very nicely done with bright, colorful graphics and a clean, easy to use layout..."

"As a Business Owner and Instructor of a Tutorial Service, I found the TRIP reading program extremely helpful to my students. The flashing practice assisted with visual memory issues for students unable to capture important information written on the board in a timely manner. Sight word reading and spelling review are critical for reading fluency. My students enjoyed increasing their speed level as I watched their confidence soar. The Story Cards are a cumulative review of the sight words and a terrific hand out to take home and read aloud to parents and siblings."

Each lesson contains sight words, flashing practice and a story reading exercise. Also included is a home reading lesson video showing you how to use the exercises plus techniques to successfully help your child. In a recent survey done by a well known consumer magazine to help students with reading problems three strategies taught in our video are listed as being helpful.

The Reading Center Story

The Reading Center was started in 1961 by Dr. Muriel E. Bruno, an educational psychologist. Dr. Bruno developed a reading program to help students with dyslexia, ADD and ADHD. The program uses hand-eye-ear coordination training techniques to help with many reading difficulties.

Walter C. Waid joined the Reading Center teaching staff in 1974 after completing his BA and English teaching credential at California State University Fullerton, In addition, he went through Dr. Bruno’s extensive teacher training program at the center.

Dr. Bruno retired in 1996 and at that time Mr. Waid took over the directorship of the Reading Center. Today the Reading Center is still helping students of all ages in Huntington Beach, California with Mr. Waid at the helm. We are proud of the many students we have helped over the years as it has made a big difference in their lives.

Reading Center Enrollment

If you live in the Orange County area of Southern California, then you have the opportunity of enrolling your child in the reading center where the “TRIP” program is taught on a one-to-one basis at an extremely affordable cost.

What You Must Do To Get
Your Child To Read

By
Jordan H. Price

*If you want your child to read then you must be a reader. Keep books, magazines, newspapers at home. Visit websites with lots of content. Let your child see you reading.

*Whatever your child chooses to read, let him, even if it’s Vampire Zombies. Reading encourages more reading.

*Make it a point to visit the local library together. When you shop together stop in at a bookstore or the book section of any giant retailer if your child has done his choirs for the week, offer to buy him a book of his choice.

*Talk to your child about a variety of things such as sports, entertainment, music, current events. This will encourage them to read about them.

*Remember, even thou your child is playing a video game or watching a video he had to be able to read to do it. You might want to monitor this but don’t discourage it entirely.

Startling Statistics…

*If a child is a poor reader at the end of the first grade, there is an almost 90% probability that the child will be a poor at the end of fourth grade.

– The Public Library Association

*Estimates indicate that at least 20 million of the nation’s 53 million school-age children are poor readers

– About two out of five children.

*Three-quarters of students who are poor readers in third grade will remain poor readers in high school.

– Yale University

*At least 50% of the unemployed are functionally illiterate.

– U. S. Department of Labor.

*The education of the parent is the single greatest predictor of whether a child will be raised in poverty.

– U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services.

*For 90-95% of poor readers, prevention and early intervention programs that combine instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, reading fluency, and reading comprehension can increase reading skills to average reading levels.
