Yes, ReadingDoctor® Online can be suitable for older students who are struggling with reading or spelling.
Many older students with reading difficulties still need to strengthen foundation skills such as letter-sound knowledge, blending, segmenting, decoding, spelling and recognising common sight words. ReadingDoctor® Online is designed to help build these skills in a structured, systematic way.
The activities have been designed to be as non-condescending as possible for older learners. It can help to explain that the program is designed to fill in any foundation skill gaps that may have been missed earlier, rather than being work intended only for younger children.
For older students, ReadingDoctor® Online works best alongside broader literacy support, including reading connected text, vocabulary, writing, fluency practice and comprehension support.
