Reading Is FAME®Overview
A four-course reading intervention program
The Boys Town Reading Center is at the forefront in research, design and implementation of programs to improve adolescent reading skills. Our goal is to reverse reading failure in young adults, and more than 7,490 teachers, administrators, special education coordinators and reading specialists use the Reading Is FAME curriculum. For their students, FAME means enhanced basic reading skills, expanded vocabularies, better comprehension, greater confidence and improved self-esteem. On average, each youth’s reading level is advanced by two grade levels.
The Reading is FAME program has been recognized by the National Education Association and the National Staff Development Council as an “example of a content-specific staff development program that increases student achievement!”
OVERVIEW
Reading Is FAME is a research-based, developmental reading program for adolescents reading below grade level. The program incorporates a series of four courses designed for high school students in grades 7-12. This curriculum helps students by addressing problems at each stage of reading development. Students learn to identify words in print, build fluency, acquire new concepts, and analyze what is read.
