Now in its fifth edition, "Reading Pathways" (with help from Dewey
the Bookworm) offers an easy-to-use, highly effective approach to
teaching reading accuracy and fluency to students of all ages,
using a unique pyramid format.
Reading pyramids begin with one word and slowly build into
phrases and sentences of gradually increasing complexity. As the
student moves from the pinnacle to the base of each pyramid, the
phrase or sentence becomes more interesting and expansive, and the
student's confidence grows with each line completed. Progressively
building up the amount of text per line increases eye span,
strengthens eye tracking, and develops reading fluency.
The book also features more challenging multisyllable word
pyramid exercises and games to further develop fluency and
vocabulary. Learning to read long words by syllables removes the
fear and mystique of multisyllable words and helps students build
the strong vocabulary so critical for success in reading and
writing.
"Reading Pathways" is ideal for school, tutoring, and home use,
and has already proven successful with K-2 emergent readers, second
language learners, and students with learning disabilities. This
unique approach has won rave reviews from teachers, parents, and
English language learners all over the world.

Praise for "Reading Pathways"
"With clarity, interest, humor, and precision, Dolores has
offered a way out of the darkness of illiteracy. I am pleased to
endorse [her] books as some of the finest instructional materials
for teaching children and adults to read that I have
reviewed."
--Robert W. Sweet Jr., professional staff member, Committee on
Education and the Work Force, U.S. Congress, Washington, D.C.
"Our organization, Kids Read, offers tutoring to struggling or
non-reading second graders in the public schools. Dolores Hiskes's
materials are our most powerful tools for helping kids achieve
confidence and independence in reading . . . The pyramid practice
in Reading Pathways strengthens eye tracking and gives learners
immediate practice with the concepts they just learned in a bigger
setting. Non-readers find initial success in the presentation of
short vowel words and stories. The pyramid stories provide an
opportunity for multiple readings of the words and phrases, an
exercise which is very empowering for emerging readers."
--Becky Faherty, director, Kids Read, Inc., Gaithersburg,
Maryland
"Reading Pathways led my children so gently through the pyramids
that they were reading big words before they knew it! This is a 'no
pain' approach to giving children the extra practice that helps to
develop a strong reader."
--Sherrill Fink, homeschooling mother, Virginia
"My students love the multisyllable word pyramids and feel proud
they can finally read those mysterious long words. It's so
beautiful to see their self-esteem grow. This is what makes
teaching rewarding. Thank you!"
--Renee Wesly, special education and regular education teacher,
Maunawili Elementary School, Kailua, Hawaii
