REWARDS Multisyllabic Word Reading: Intermediate

REWARDS Multisyllabic Word Reading: Intermediate introduces students to a unique strategy for multisyllabic word reading. This strategy, developed by Dr. Anita Archer, has been proven effective in helping students:

• Break words into manageable, decodable chunks
• Read long words in content-area textbooks
• Read accurately, quickly, and with confidence
• Increase oral and silent reading fluency
• Improve comprehension as decoding and fluency increase

REWARDS Multisyllabic Word Reading: Secondary

REWARDS Multisyllabic Word Reading: Secondary is an explicitly taught, research-validated reading intervention program. It incorporates a highly generalizable and effective strategy for decoding multisyllabic words frequently found in content-area texts. Daily 50- or 60-minute lessons increase oral and silent reading rates (fluency), expand students’ knowledge of general academic and domain-specific vocabulary, and build students’ confidence in their reading ability.

Research studies have shown that students in REWARDS, including English language learners, make significant gains in fluency and in decoding multisyllabic words. Studies have been conducted in a wide variety of settings, including general education classrooms and small-group interventions.
