One Danish public school teacher, dissatisfied with the traditional methods being used to teach children to read, contacted Applied Scholastics for help. After receiving training in the Study Technology, he made significant progress teaching his first grade class to read. “I had never experienced such remarkable results,” he stated. By the second grade, all of his students were one year ahead of their grade level in reading — some two to three years ahead. Test results showed that 100 percent of his pupils were “confident readers,” the term applied to those in the highest reading level for their grade, exceeding the national average by 53 percent.
