Because we know that most reading difficulties can be overcome if identified and addressed early on, The Ford Center for Reading offers our innovative Extreme Elements Preventive Reading Program for students in grades K-3.

This groundbreaking program advances growth in the five pillars of reading as well as in related skills, such as: Phonemic awareness Phonics Phonemic decoding skills Word attack skills Word recognition Fluency Spelling Orthography Vocabulary Comprehension
