Elements of The Reading Repairer

The Reading Repairer is a teaching program enabling the user to teach skills that will enable a student to significantly improve their reading ability.

The core focus is to improve the decoding of older students. I, and others, have taught many older students with The Reading Repairer who have become independent readers.

The teaching of phonics, structural analysis, syllabification and spelling are each integrated into this program. Each student using the program is provided with an individualized program according to their needs. Teaching is explicit, sequenced, repetitive and requires mastery level outcomes. Details of how to use this program, including diagnostic resources, are in the Series 1 booklet.

Other booklets in this series focus upon specific phonics or structural analysis content needed to read independently. Each student’s diagnostic results will indicate which of the other 7 booklets a student will require.

Our Happy Clients

  • "The Reading Repairer improved my grade from a D to a C. I now have the ability to decode texts that I would never have attempted."

    Noah - a grade 11 student

  • "Over a period of approximately 25 years I have watched Maurice work tirelessly on finessing The Reading Repairer program. In the early days I was involved in helping him proof read the program and then set about trialling it. I have used the program in education department schools, independent schools and newly implemented Indie schools in Tasmania. It has never failed to make a difference in students’ lives – not only in their ability to read, but perhaps even more importantly, in their self- esteem. Without fail, learners have developed a strong belief in their own ability – to read, to understand and to grow as humans. The Reading Repairer works on so many levels. It is simple to use , simple to teach to others who wish to implement it and most importantly – it works! Even the student who has reached high school being illiterate, will experience success with this program. I have seen this occur over and over again. Students become keen to keep progressing, feeling powerful in their ability to succeed. And the look on their faces when they finish and see how far they have come and what they have achieved is overwhelming. This program simply makes a difference - I could not recommend it more highly."
