Zero to Five
The ZERO to FIVE consists of visual materials that progressively introduce the student to vocabulary, language principles, concepts, and basic sentence structure. It is a basic skills program designed to assist the pre-reading student in acquiring the specific visual and perceptual competencies needed to experience success in reading.
The way the program is designed, the student must interact with the visual language material and respond to each frame in a programmed format. The sequential nature of the program ensures that each step is the logical progression of all that has gone before. Each of the five levels includes diagnostic placement tests and post-tests for mastery evaluation. Motivation has been built within the program by colorful and meaningful visuals, a high probability of successful performance, and a unique manner of response using the computer.
Reading Readiness
“The Zero To Five Reading Readiness Series consists of Perceptual Training and Thinking lessons which address visual perceptual skills and critical thinking and comprehension skills. The program tests for areas of weaknesses and then introduces the student to visual and comprehension skills needed for reading.”

Project Light teaches how to create and then implement a Learning Center. The tutor/instructor serves as a mentor to the student and takes a genuine interest in his or her life. Being a mentor includes caring for the needs of the student in attaining literacy and a GED. We provide tutor training, sample record-keeping forms, consulting, technical assistance and all the necessary guides and manuals.
