Why We're Different

The RGR Difference

Our goal is to help struggling readers master reading with explicit, multisensory instruction. We do this by making reading accessible and engaging lessons and manipulatives. 

The Phonics Suite Difference

Our program is ideal for upper elementary, middle and high school students as well as adults.  It offers free and accurate diagnosis of decoding skills and weaknesses. In addition, using our free, online Grouping Matrix ensures that students receive appropriate instruction.

Unlike other programs, we have students focus on accuracy rather than speed. That’s because accuracy, not speed, is the key to fluency and comprehension—the ultimate goal of reading.

Our unique Phonics Suite approach works because:

• Language is not babyish; skills are taught in a mature way and academic language is emphasized.
• Focus on vowels, not rules, when reading multi-syllable words.
• Lessons are easier than most to implement and can be taught by a wide range of educators.
• Positive error correction is embedded in our instruction. We see tremendous gains in students’ confidence because teachers focus on what students do right before they help them self correct their errors.
•  Learning to teach Phonics Blitz and Phonics Boost is accessible and affordable: a 3-day professional development series prepares educators to identify, group, and teach students.
• Flexible lesson design allows lessons to be taught in 30-, 45-, or 60-minute increments.
• Lessons are geared toward those with some reading ability but struggling to keep up in class.
• Our lessons take less time than other programs, but have great outcomes.
• Students practice their decoding skills with controlled and non-controlled text.
