Reading Mastery Signature Edition uses evidence-based Direct Instruction to help students become fluent, independent and highly skilled readers.
It offers a systematic approach that accelerates reading and helps students achieve a high rate of success.
Three strands address reading, language arts, and literature through a common instructional design that helps students learn more efficiently.
The addition of digital resources for both additional practice and professional development, helps teachers optimise each minute spent in the classroom.
Flexible and comprehensive, the Signature Edition is appropriate for use as a supplemental intervention program or a core reading program.
