Welcome to:
'FORTUNE
COOKIE
COLLEGE'
HOME OF
300 + 1
THREE HUNDRED PLUS ONE
A KEY READING PROGRAM
SURPASSED BY NONE
'4' PARENTS
'4' MENTORS
'4' STUDENTS:
THIS IS
A POETICALLY PRESENTED PROGRAM
HANDS-ON
DESIGNED TO HELP
STRENGTHEN
READING SKILLS.
A PREREQUISITE IS:
MASTERY OF THE PRINTED
ALPHABET LETTERS
BOTH
UPPER CASE:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
and
lower case:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.
WE ARE LEARNING TO
RECOGNIZE ON SIGHT
THE
300 + 1
MOST USED WORDS
IN THE
AMERICAN-ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
WE ARE LEARNING THEM
IN ORDER OF THEIR
FREQUENCY OF USE.
WE ARE MAKING VERY SPECIFIC
FLASH/PRACTICE CARDS
ON 3x5 LINED INDEX CARDS
(AT THE RATE OF 1 OR 2
CARDS PER DAY, preferably.
A RELIABLE
MENTOR
is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED,
EVEN A PHONE MENTOR WOULD DO.
A SCHOOL SETTING IS ALSO
QUITE FEASIBLE. IN SCHOOLS
THE STRONGER READERS
COULD MENTOR THOSE IN NEED.
WE RECOMMEND CREDIT/INCENTIVES
FOR BOTH LEARNER AND MENTOR;
FOR EXAMPLE, COMMUNITY SERVICE
CREDITS, POSSIBLY LEADING TO
WORK-SCHOLARSHIPS.
A STUDIOUS STUDY
ATMOSPHERE
IS NEEDED DAILY.
TIME: ABOUT 25 MINUTES
PER CARD-CREATING SESSION,
NO MORE.
A BENEFICIAL SIDE-EFFECT
IS
SELF-DISCIPLINE.
THE
FLASH-PRACTICE CARDS
NEED TO BE RUBBER BANDED
AND
FLASHED
OFTEN.
DEVELOP A ROUTINE FOR THIS;
FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY BATHROOM TRIP
ETC.
OTHER IDEAS WELCOME (FAX TO
813-782-3094 BY SUNDOWN, Eastern U.S.A.)
THIS PROGRAM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO HELP AT
ANY AGE
ANY STAGE.

1 / 2
or
50%
OF THE READING 'PUZZLE', ACCORDING TO
DR. E.B. FRY-PhD
READING RESEARCHER.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
"I HAVE THE POWER
I CAN READ."
