Said 10-year-old Cameron after years of struggle.

Yes!  People 5-55 see noticeable results.  Children have a renewed sense of hope after struggling for years.  Teachers enjoy using the program because their children make unprecedented gains. 

BFR is rooted in Montessori, Orton-Gillingham and current brain research. The authors spent years field testing evidence-based instructional strategies crafting a straightforward approach for adults to learn to use that follows the science. 

No. Adults learn to use the Basic Daily Lesson Sequence and instructional strategies through asynchronous or in-person training.  Many find they learn right alongside the children they are teaching, learning and growing together. And, chart tapping is the first skill, and it's a game changer! 

Learning to read in a second language is straightforward with BFR.  The BFR Vocabulary and Comprehension materials benefit children and teens of all ages without being babyish.  Building decoding and encoding skills alongside vocabulary is key.

The BFR authors have worked extensively with children with diagnosed and undiagnosed learning differences including dyslexia.  They designed BFR to specifically work for this population knowing that if it worked for them, it would work for everyone. 

YES! Game play is central to the work.  Simple, low/no-cost games build the neural pathways in the children's brains.  The children think they are just having fun which reduces stress and anxiety.  Multi-sensory materials are one key to BFR's success!
