Rapid
Reading Intervention, Book 3 is a reading
program that teaches reading in a different way. Unlike reading

builds on students’ natural
language abilities to develop word recognition and reading fluency in
the context of interesting reading passages. Also the program includes
phonics in the context of rhyming words from the reading passages.

lessons with graded reading passages from grade 5 to grade 7 reading
levels.
In each lesson,
Rapid Reading Intervention, Book 3
includes phrase-cued reading, repeated reading, timed reading, and
reading with expression all of which develop reading fluency.
