Does anyone use RAVE-O?

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Hello,

I am a private tutor. I work with 2nd-5th grade students with varying degrees of dyslexia. I use Orton-Gillingham, supplemented by Lindamood Bell LIPS. I have kids that are not progressing with reading rate. I have heard some promising ideas about the RAVE-O program. It is purported to work with fluency issues. I have read the few studies available by googling on the internet. I have not run across recent, longitudinal studies by researchers other than the creators at Tuft.

Does anyone know about this program? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of raving about RAVE-O. Or am I not locating the right information. Perhaps it takes awhile to get a curriculum out in the mainstream.

Any opinions would be great.

Thank you,

Julie

Here is a report on RAVE-O completed by the Florida Center for Reading Research:

RAVE-O lessons focus on systematic training to achieve accuracy and automaticity in the retrieval of multiple components related to words that include letter and letter-pattern knowledge, multiple meanings, grammar, and morphological endings. Comprehension strategies aimed to enhance the child’s predictive, analytical and inferential skills provide a foundation used in all later learning.
