​READING TRICKS

Reading Tricks was designed based on research at the Hospital for Sick Children. The program combines the proven sound-blending system from Direct Instruction program, Reading Mastery, with 3 other decoding strategies into a meta-cognitive system that encourages automatic decoding and fluent text reading.  Reading Tricks works well with students in grades 4 and up who have not yet learned to read.
