White Paper Announcement! Cascade Reading Improves Elementary Reading Comprehension: A Corroborative Longitudinal Study

Cascade Reading’s patented linguistically-driven text formatting algorithm transforms text into a visual map to sentence meaning by identifying grammatical constituents and using indentations to arrange them hierarchically. This report details a year-long longitudinal study in which 4th and 5th graders read multiple passages per week in the Cascade Format and answered questions about what they read. Results corroborate previous findings showing improved comprehension for reading in the Cascade Format compared to traditional text formatting. This revolutionary reading technology is uniquely positioned to address stagnant or declining levels of proficient reading skills.
