The Xtreme Reading program provides students with an opportunity to become strong readers and stronger students. It lays the groundwork for success in school and opens the door to success in life.
Performance Learning is offering the Xtreme Reading Course for students in grades 7 – 12 who are struggling to read grade level material. Students who went through the program averaged 2.5 to 3.7 years growth in one school year. Xtreme Reading is a research-based program developed by the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. Xtreme Reading is on the Institute of Education Sciences’ What Works Clearinghouse website.
Xtreme Reading is a comprehensive program that is designed to provide consistent, intensive, and explicit instruction that struggling adolescent readers need to become competent and confident readers. Xtreme Reading is appropriate for students who exhibit:

Guiding instructional principles of the program are:
- Value each student as a person and a learner

- Engage students in learning so “each minute counts”
