Seven exercise types. Weekly one-hour sessions. Maximum eight children per group. Same recipe in Cape Town as in Polokwane. Boring on purpose. That's why it works.
A set of structured eye exercises to relieve eye strain and improve focus.
Instant recognition of the words that appear most often.
Decoding of words. Turning unfamiliar letter patterns into sound.
Correct sequence of letters to make a word.
Speed and fluency. Reading like a person, not a robot.
Understanding what's read. The whole point.
Sentence structure and grammar sense. Holding a thought across a whole line.
One of these per week. That's the whole programme.
Tracking and visual perception drills. Gets the eyes moving before the brain does the work.
Flashed at pace. Each child calls each word. Hits and misses logged.
Decoding new words at the right level. Errors get captured as they happen.
Patterns and accuracy exercises.
Twenty minutes on the reading itself. Live words per minute counts, charted on the platform as they go.
Questions about what was just read. Answers logged to measure understanding.
A fun sentence-and-grammar activity if there's time left over. Sits outside the 60 minutes, not in it.
Sight words. Word attack. Words per minute. Comprehension answers. Logged in the platform during the session, not after. Parents get a quarterly report. You see it across the whole class each week.
Most learners show measurable progress within eight to twelve weeks. The recipe and the platform pull each other forward.
