About PAF

Preventing Academic Failure (PAF) is a program for teaching reading, spelling, and handwriting in grades K-3. It has been proven successful in over 25 years of use in public and private schools. Thousands of children, many with learning disabilities, have learned to read thanks to PAF.

Scientifically Proven
PAF is based on the latest scientifically based research from the National Institute of Child Health and Development and validated by the National Reading Panel. It is designed as an early intervention program to ensure success for ALL beginning readers.

Teacher Friendly
PAF provides all the materials needed to plan and teach daily lessons. Everything is at your fingertips.

Integrated Approach
PAF is a unique program because, unlike conventional reading programs, it integrates reading, spelling and handwriting into cohesive lessons. Multisensory associations are taught between the sounds the children HEAR, the letters they SEE and the letters they WRITE.
