What is Laubach Way to Reading?
Laubach Way to Reading is a basic reading and writing series developed primarily for adults with little or no reading ability. The series consists of four levels with student books, workbooks, and correlated readers for student use. The teacher's edition for each level gives detailed instructions and lesson plans.
The series provides a systematic development of basic reading and writing skills. Each lesson includes vocabulary development, phonic/structural analysis of words, the reading of a short story, comprehension checks, and writing practice.
Although designed primarily for adults, Laubach Way to Reading may also be used successfully with high schoolers or students in intermediate grades who need remedial work in basic reading, writing, or spelling. "
