stride Description : I use Stride Ahead with children who can read but do not gain the message or comprehension from the text. It was written as the follow up to the AMAZING toe by toe reading program because this taught the children to read but no understand. Stride ahead follows on with continuing to develop reading skills (longer, trickier words) whilst expecting and demanding a high level of comprehension. It is especially motivating for boys as it is timed and students see their speed and accuracy rise very quickly. It really works and it works FAST. 'Keda Cowling has worked hard, her incredible hard work and dedication to the task of creating Stride Ahead has given me a tool which has not only allowed me to do my job properly (there does not appear to be a similar program out there for my aged students) but most importantly it has given 17 mainly young men a chance to move from the barely able to cope in this world of text to confidence' Jan Johnstone, Telford Rural Polytechnic, New Zealand - May 2009 'He is also reading Stride Ahead. It is indeed a great book. I have found his short term memory to have increased after reading just 1/3rd of the book. It not only is an essential add on for Toe by Toe but also has a very positive effect on comprehension. My son is now more confident, has a very good reading capability, can write emails and essays better and can comprehend much better, JUST BECAUSE of the GREAT Keda Cowling.' Dr Unwar Aswan - Medical doctor and parent, Pakistan - Feb. 2009 '...it gives a fantastic foundation in literacy skills. My son came top of his class in reading after going through Stride Ahead' Mrs Shaw (parent), Ayrshire, KA5 6HN In the late 70's Keda Cowling created a unique syllable division which was incorporated into the reading manual Toe by Toe. Over the last few years this system has successfully taught thousands of people - dyslexics and non-dyslexics alike - to read (i.e. decode). This success has been due to the application of this easy-to-use syllable division and the structured over-teaching of the phonemes in question. The aim of Stride Ahead is to make these phonemes so familiar to dyslexic students that they become able to recognise them instantaneously and without concentrated mental effort and thus they can get on with the process of understanding the text in front of them. Timing is the key to this process and careful timing forms the essence of the Stride Ahead method. Stride Ahead F.A.Q.s How old do students need to be before commencing Stride Ahead ?
