Reading Sage

"The Dyslexic Reading Teacher Sean Taylor" Literacy for me was almost an unrealized unattainable dream! As a dyslexic learner I was unable to read, write, or decode words as a child, p,d,b and q were all the same letter. Many classroom teachers assumed I would never read or write due to the severity of my dyslexia and this made me feel worthless. I am a dyslexic reading teacher that has built a reputation for finding innovative ways "FREE" to teach reading to all students!

FREE READING COMPREHENSION TEST ONLINE

FREE ONLINE READING COMPREHENSION TEST

Free Reading Comprehension Test

95% passing on State Reading Exams Assured!

My students use very little test prep material to prepare for State Standardized Testing due to the fact most seems useless and costly.The one exception is the TAKS Reading Assessment and Math Assessment (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skill: A Pearson Publication). All previous years exams are free and are released through the the Texas Department of Eduction website.
The released assessments are produced by Pearson Publishing a company that produces a large share of State Standardized Testing. Teachers can access all released test back to 2005 in a PDF format or online testing format. My students use a hard copy of the PDF reading and math assessment a few weeks before any Standardized State testing. Students always study the test in pairs with both students reading all passages out loud and disusing questions to find a consensus. Students take notes, use dictionaries, thesaurus, and ask
for assistance from the teacher to find the best choice for the question. Students use three test during test prep one below grade level, at level and finally one above grade level.
Student use the TAKS Test at the end of the four weeks of Reading Boot Camp to polish and refine their comprehension and vocabulary knowledge. Students will find the assessment a great way to prepare for multiple choice exam.

Reading Boot Camp is the Highest Quality Reading Instruction!

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” William A. Foster

READING BOOT CAMP is a FREE researched based RTI intervention program that uses best instructional practices with a qualification, teach to the very TOP, expose every student to grade level and above ELA concepts, lift all students using Socratic learning tactics, teach and treat all students as GIFTED, be flexible and have fun, set rigorous goals, and differentiate through scaffolding and cooperative learning. This is a philosophy that many disagree with and believe it is not pedagogically sound, usually by teachers that try to ability group and differentiate for 2-7 grade levels. RBC has 13 years of proven results, the RTI reading intervention improves reading test scores by one full grade level in 20 days. Reading Boot Camp is used in hundreds of classrooms and a handful of schools as a proven school-wide and classroom turnaround program. Example 90 Minute Reading Block RTI READING BOOT CAMP

Can a student leave the test and return the next day to finish? Can he pick up where he left off, or does he have to start again?
