Comprehensive Vs. Targeted
Our reading interventions are based on the science of reading. Lessons provide explicit instruction in foundational reading skills (phonics), fluency, vocabulary, content knowledge, and comprehension.
Our Third Quest programs are diagnostic and prescriptive. Field-tested and proven, our programs deliver measurable results—creating enthusiasm and instilling confidence in readers.
