“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 10): Creating Effective Lessons for a LD Student

August 30, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

When my son was a few months old and I was a new mom, I had no idea how or when to introduce him to solid foods. I fell asleep one night in the midst of reading an article about the topic. The article explained that solid foods should be introduced in very small bites,

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 9): Strategies for the Three Cueing Systems – Part II

August 29, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

As promised last week, I will share effective strategies for the remaining two cueing systems today. However, I’d like to begin with a story about a powerful way to support struggling readers…that I discovered by accident. Several years ago, I had a third-grade student, Emilia (name changed) who had very few reading skills. She could

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 8): Strategies for the Three Cueing Systems

August 16, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

Two weeks ago, our computers were down and my productivity came to a grinding halt. (Perhaps you noticed that I skipped a week with these articles…) With nothing else to do, we cleaned out our filing cabinets. One large drawer was overstuffed with reading materials from my days in the classroom. “This ought to be

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 7): Journey of a Reading Teacher

August 9, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

It was my husband who first suggested I go for a reading degree when I entered grad school. “Are you kidding?” I replied.  “I HATE teaching reading!” It was August and we were on a road trip, heading home after camping for a week on Michigan’s west coast.  I was supposed to start grad school

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 6):
Why Reading Level Is Overrated

August 3, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 6): <br>Why Reading Level Is Overrated

One year, when teaching third-grade, I had a half-dozen students enter my class with a “documented” reading level of 7th grade or higher. These reading levels were determined by their second-grade teacher, after she completed her end-of-year testing. Naturally, these parents wanted to be sure their children would continue to be challenged. Several of them

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 5): What Do I Do? Where Do I Go?

August 3, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

A subscriber from St. Louis emailed me a couple weeks ago. She feels her son had a reading disability and was wondering what she should do next. Should she seek a tutor? If so, where could she find one? How could she get a diagnosis? Her questions address the next logical topic to discuss in

August 3, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 4): “He’s Just Not Tryin'”

We all have our little nuances and idiosyncrasies. One of mine is my “Rule of Three.” That is, when something comes to my attention three times in a relatively short span of time, I take notice and wonder if the world is trying to tell me something. The Rule of Three has helped me navigate

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 3): When Mistakes are Golden

August 3, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 3): When Mistakes are Golden

By now, you may be getting a little “tired” of all of this talk about cueing systems, but these first three articles are synthesizing what I believe to be the most significant information about the reading process. Out of the thousands of hours of training I have had between my master’s degree, several years of

“The Cue to Reading” Series (Article 2): Cueing Into a Problem / The Most Important Cueing System in Reading

August 3, 2011 By Susan Kruger, M.Ed.

What Is The Most Important Cueing System In Reading? When I ask this question in training sessions (typically for highly experienced teachers), the response from 90% of them is, “Visual!” Then, I open my PowerPoint and display this message: I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg.

Cornerstone for Study Skills Class

This is very exciting. The SOAR® Binder System and handbook are the cornerstone for my study skills class for all 6th graders at St. John’s. We have had great success!

SOAR Strategies Make Homework Easier

My sons were good students to begin with, but they have used many SOAR strategies to make homework easier for them.

Ideas to Get More Organized

You got us to start talking about ideas to get her more organized. I’m going to order your book and pass the word about your program to the other moms I know.

Heather B.

Became an A Student

Your program helped me change into an A average student in high school after struggling with C’s and D’s.

Comprehensive Coverage of Needs

I have done much research over the last 2 years in an attempt to find just the right thing that I feel would be most beneficial with the at-risk students with whom I work. Though my work with students has been helpful, I have always believed something more concrete that systematically teaches organization and study skills, would be more fruitful for students in the long term. I have concluded, FINALLY, that the SOAR® Study Skills program is the best I have ever seen, offering the most comprehensive coverage of the needs of the students I service. The author provides sound rationale for her approach and plenty of info to answer questions, as the site is easy to navigate. The resources are simple/kid-friendly, illustrating each desired skill. As a teacher, having viewed and used numerous curriculums over the years, I am most excited about this discovery.

Homework Done Faster

Homework is getting done faster and there is much less fighting in our household!

Great System

This is a great system! I would like to see my whole school use this. Would you be interested in training my colleagues?

Huge Rewards

I see students as well as parents who have been very happy with SOAR®. I can see huge rewards with this program!

Book Report Done Early

For this spring’s book report I set a goal to get it done on time and not have to rush. I got it done two weeks early!

Research Base

I was trying to design a study skills class and did an online search to find some good resources and SOAR® came up. When I looked at the program and how organized it was, it appealed to me! There were other programs out there, and there were things I could have done myself, but because SOAR® has a research base behind it, that is what attracted me to this particular program.

Good Grades Despite Grueling Schedule

I’m happy to tell you that my daughter is doing splendidly well in school. We’ve gone over your book together. You got her off to a good start with the binder system. I do not check her work or even help her at all. Her teachers have told me that she is a model student. She has been responsible in keeping up with her studies and receiving good grades even though she has had a grueling schedule. Thanks so much for what you do for the students.

Debbie M.
High School

Feel More In Control

I feel much more in control when I study now because I know exactly what to do. I don’t waste my time staring at my textbook, I take better notes in class, and I am better prepared for each class so when I study for a test, it all comes together.

Strategic Learning Class Helped Tremendously

My daughter took your live Strategic Learning Class this past Fall. She really REALLY enjoyed your class and told me it helped her tremendously at school.

Why Didn’t Someone Tell Me?

Why didn’t someone tell me about this before?

Tips Helped Tremendously

He never planned ahead and it drove me crazy! But, you were right…he did not know how to plan ahead. Your tips for teaching him, or should I say “showing” him how to plan ahead have helped tremendously. I’m not mad at him all of the time anymore…it is a big relief!

A Lot Smoother

This will make my school year run a lot smoother. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.

SOAR Has Helped So Much

SOAR has definitely helped me so much. My teacher, also would like me to be a Teacher’s Assistant when I’m a senior. I hope others learn as much as I did from SOAR.

Everything Grouped in Categories

I liked how everything was grouped in categories and everything kind of set up the next step of SOAR.

Great to Know I’m Not Alone

I have a child who is bright and enrolled in a very rigorous school, but I realize he does not know how to study properly, manage a longer view of assignments, etc. I recently read your SOAR Study Skills book and subsequently ordered the Homework Help for Parents program. I am a convert! I am also delighted to learn that I am not alone in this battle…

Life Is Easier

Life is so much easier!

SOAR Binder System a Godsend

SOAR has been a Godsend to our family…you have no idea! My son has not lost one assignment or forgotten anything at school since I set him up with your Binder System. You really demonstrated how to simplify the organizational process and I am so grateful to have found something that finally works!

Paul K.

Easier to Stay Organized

I can’t believe how much easier it is for me to keep my papers organized. Since I started using the Binder, I have not lost one assignment! My parents are so excited and I feel so much better about school. Thank you!

Michael Z.

Now Getting As and Bs

I was getting Cs and Ds. Now I am getting As and Bs! I learned how to be organized and how to study…it has made such a difference!

Quick Hits

The information is nice because it comes in “quick hits,” meaning it isn’t overly burdensome to cover; the principle is there, we can employ it almost immediately, and move on to practicing it.

Therese S.

Usable Information

Excellent, usable information!

Lori B.

I loved the binder. What a simple but effective idea!

More Organized Now

I like the SOAR® system because the strategies pertain to all students. I have found that even my gifted students have problems with organizations, maybe more so than others. I had a 5th-grader last year who was a “shover,” he could not get papers in the correct folder to save his life. We exchanged his folders for the SOAR® Binder System. He was so relieved to see how simple it could be to organize his papers, he gave me a huge hug! I put another 4th-grader on the Binder System this year. He feels so much more organized now and can find things quickly. I still check in with the organization when we meet during class. I like how he puts everything in the front and then makes time at the end of the day to put in all of his papers where they need to go. I don’t know what these kids would have done without going on the SOAR® Binders. The system is great. They feel better about school – kind of a relief seeing their stuff organized for once! They finally know where everything is! I have a whole third grade that is planning to implement the SOAR® Binder System for their students next year…
