Wade McJacobsWade McJacobs created the Read Through It Strategy while working with struggling readers in alternative schools in Tigard, Oregon. He discovered that people often avoid reading because they are frustrated with the physical mechanics of reading ratherthan the ideas presented. The Read Through It Strategy guides the reader through practice exercises that will improve reading speed and comprehension.

In retirement, Wade and Martha embrace this new beginning as an opportunity to better themselves and their communities. Read More Read Less
