Struggling Readers

Reading is EVERYWHERE! We read when we are out shopping for food, clothing or what movie we want to watch next. We read when we are out traveling and and looking for signs on the road. We read when receive notifications on our phones and tablets. In short, we cannot survive without reading. Now imagine if reading is a daily struggle, how exhausting and painful it would be. Reading would no longer be fun and life would lose some if its joy!

Kids need to read more, not less

Studies show that reading for pleasure makes a big difference to children’s educational performance. Evidence suggests that children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in reading tests than those who don’t, but also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures.In fact, reading for pleasure is more likely to determine whether a child does well at school than their social or economic background.

Struggling Readers read less

Studies show that struggling readers between grade 3 and grade 6 read an average of 13.5 minutes ever day. This is a 29% decrease compared to children who do not struggle. No Child wants to read if there is no enjoyment doing so.

What is Lexile?
The Lexile Framework for Reading is a popular tool for measuring a child’s reading ability, or reading IQ. It is widely used in schools to help teachers and parents choose reading material at the right level of difficulty for a student. The score is measured by reading assessments or programs. Dozens of state reading tests and other reading programs measure a child’s Lexile reading ability. The Lighthouse Homeschool Reader is guaranteed to produce 3.9x gains in Lexile growth in your child’s reading ability after reading just 30 minutes a day. If your child does not see at least 3.9x gains in their Lexile score, we have a 100% money back guarantee!
