Governments across the world are spending billions on improving curricula and to create cutting edge environments in an effort to improve academic achievement, nevertheless students are still struggling to keep up with their studies.

There is without a doubt a gap –that is getting bigger each year, between students and the information they have to study. These statements confirm that the need to accurately bridge this gap with effective, targeted intervention is not merely an option, but becoming essential.

The bottom line…
Rapidly changing work environments…
Growth of knowledge…
What are we teaching them?
Do they have the skills to be successful?
Are we teaching them what they need to know?
65% of today's grade school kids will end

What is a good reader?
GOOD READERS… Establish reading goals Select reading strategies appropriate to the text
and intended outcomes Monitor to ensure comprehension is established Have a positive attitude towards reading
AT THE END OF THE DAY… A GOOD READER CAN ADJUST HIS/HER READING SPEED AND READING STRATEGIES TO THE TASK AT HAND!
We want to find an accurate, efficient way to teach students to…• Read faster and remember more but also• Find ways to acquire new knowledge• Know where and how information relates to the bigger
picture• Read with an activated mind and engage text meaningful

The Reader Past experience Present Skills ( Visual, Language )
Developmental Level of Reading skills Self esteem and motivation
Model of text Readability of material Interest level of content Compilation and structure
of material
Family
Community
School
Cultural/ Environment
All these factors shapes the complex persona of the reader in the reading action that forms the basis for understanding the individualreading process
How do we get there?
Readability is defined as reading ease, especially as it results from a writing style. Extensive research has shown that easy-reading text improves comprehension, retention, reading speed, and reading persistence.

How do we read? Optic Motor information
IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY:
FIXATION: each eye stop
REGRESSION: re-reading of words and/ or letters
EYE SPAN/ SPAN OF RECOGNITION: amount of words recognized when eye stops
DURATION OF FIXATION: time of each fixation
READING SPEED: measured in words per minute
COMPREHENSION: understanding content on various cognitive levels
Reading is a complex, integrated
action. Each of the physical components that are a part of
the learners’ interaction with the
reading task is so integrated,
that it is difficult, if not impossible to distinguish between them. Physical, psychological, emotional and environment factors are woven together in this cause. At any given time one or more of these aspects or challenges can have an influence on a readers’ reading ability

Common Mind-sets on Reading Intervention and Development in South Africa
AREAS OF WEAKNESS 2012 ANAS EVALUATION
• Many learners cannot read with comprehension.
• Many learners are not able to produce meaningful written outputs (i.e. they write words and sentences that are completely incoherent).
• Learners lack the ability to make correct inferences from the given information in a text.
• Learners' knowledge of grammar is very limited (e.g. tenses, verb use in singular form versus plural form).
• Learners struggle to spell frequently used words correctly.

The majority of Grade 3 learners cannot give a correct sequence of events after reading a short given story.
A predominant factor in the observed performance of learners (Grade 6) in both Language and Mathematics is the inability to read with understanding.
Grade 9 learners generally demonstrated very limited language skills. They could not read simple texts with evidence of clear comprehension.
The qualitative analysis suggests that most learners have not mastered knowledge and skills that are appropriate to the grade in which they are placed.
