Classroom teachers rarely have time to work one on one for 15 minutes
with a student during school hours or even after school help.
The solution to
building a confident reader is Neurological Impress Method. This reading method is a form of paired
reading in which a student and adult read the text simultaneously.
So how does it actually work?
Sitting next to each other, the adult will read the text slightly
faster than the student while they both use a finger to follow the text.
Next steps,
1) Use reading material that is at the students independent level.
2) A Kumon instructor will guide the students finger under the words as they are being read to- ensure the voice and finder are operating together.
3) If the student begins to mumble or fall behind where the finger is, then you must stop the reading and have the student reread the sentence with you.

According to http://myweb.stedwards.edu/mikekb/ReadStrong/nim.html, research on
Neurological Impress Method showed students who significantly improved their
fluency after only a short period of instruction.
Doing this reading method for 15 minutes a
day for at least 21 days will show a noticeable marked improvement in fluency.
