ANSWER:
Merit reading programs have been successfully used in many schools in your position.
Our best programs for this purpose are Reading Comprehension Booster and Reading Skill Builder.
Reading Comprehension Booster helps students sharpen their critical thinking skills. Students work with exercises to determine main idea, make inferences and draw conclusions.
Reading Skill Builder helps students master specific reading skills: vocabulary, sequence, main idea, fact-opinion, factual recall and inference.
With both programs, educators can track student progress through an easy-to-use reporting system.
