Readak has been working with the independent school community throughout the United States, Canada, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and Australia since 1957. Readak's international experience working with students whose native language is not English is unique. We are well aware of the cultural differences and educational needs of international schools and their students.

The following questions are designed to answer only those questions that we have found to be unique to international school administrators. For answers to other frequently-asked questions, please also see Information for Administrators and Administrators' FAQ.

1. Should a student who is not proficient in English participate in Readak?
Yes. If a student is successful in a host school, he/she will benefit from Readak.

Readak's studies have shown that a large number of students whose native language is not English have made significant improvement. Most students improve their reading skills in direct correlation to their English competency. The course skills can be applied in any language and students gain added confidence in their ability to use English.

2. To what extent will international students retain the skills they learn?
Readak has on file many student evaluation surveys. The surveys were conducted after students completed the Readak course. Over 90 percent of the students taking Readak stated the skills work, grades improve and confidence is increased.

3. Do you have international references we could check?
We'd be happy to give you the names and telephone numbers of satisfied international schools. Simply Contact Us.
