High-Profit Low-Cost Reading Clinic
or Learning Center

Why start your own center:


The Academic Associates method is simple and uncomplicated. It is presented in small, logical, sequential steps. As each tiny step is presented from the teacher’s manual, students respond and automatically begin to read.

We’ve taught students from 4 to 72 years of age, and they all learned to read. Although they typically began as the poorest readers in their school with dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, autism, fetal drug and alcohol syndrome and more we taught them all to read. If they can speak reasonably well, they can learn to read.

One reading specialist reported that her students take from 400 to 600 hours over two to five years to reach their appropriate reading grade level. We do it in just 30 to 60 hours.

The goal of many first-grade reading courses is for students to read from 200 to 600 words. In our very first lesson, our students, including those with learning disabilities, read at least 300 words and are empowered to read thousands more. This is a fantastic breakthrough in reading instruction.

Our students routinely make gains that are unheard of with other methods. Their self-esteem skyrockets. They raise their grades in every subject. Our method doesn’t cure learning disabilities, but it helps students learn to work around most of them.

The reading course is…

• An actual method of instruction based on the brain’s own operating system
• Supported by years of solid educational and scientific research
• Effective for ESL students
• Appropriate for individual instruction, small groups, or entire classrooms
• Appropriate for primary, remedial, and advanced instruction for all age groups
• A paradigm shift from defeat and failure to success and achievement in reading

Why an Academic Associates Reading Clinic or Learning Center?

Learning center franchises are often priced at $35,000 or more, plus an additional $50,000 or more for equipping the center, plus never-ending royalty payments. The price of the Academic Associates opportunity is just $6,000, and you never pay any royalties or other fees.  You will never need to purchase student supplies from us.

The business is as easy as 1 2 3

It’s an exciting, proven way to generate substantial income in your own home-based or commercially-based learning center or reading clinic. It’s elite because it offers a service to students that eclipses all other learning centers.

You’ll teach reading better than anyone else in the world. You’ll attract students at very low cost or no cost to yourself, and you’ll watch them make progress that others only dream about. You’ll raise their word-attack skills and comprehension by two or more years, to at least their appropriate grade level, in just 30 to 60 hours.


The training
You’ll attend a 3-4 day training seminar at our main training center in Kansas City, Missouri. You’ll be taken through the course as a non reader and as an instructor, and through our exclusive business development program. You’ll join an exclusive association of teachers who can teach every student to read. You’ll receive two teacher’s manuals, a business manual, a license to use the course, instruction in all you need to know about operating your center, plus advertising and promotional materials, student packets for your first 30 students, and much, much more.

At our main training center in Kansas City you will observe students being taught by Rich & Dodie and those working for us. There may be opportunity for you to do some teaching! You’ll see firsthand the assessment, teaching and the operation of a home based center. Every detail of the business is covered.  For those living in Europe training can be available in London.


"I really appreciated the thoroughness of the training.  Not just the reading course work but everything from answering the phone to the many free marketing ideas.  It was well worth going to Kansas City for the training."
 

It’s needed
Learning to read is not a complicated process, though 40 percent of America’s school-aged children read below grade level.

It’s not their fault or their teacher’s. They just haven’t been given all the tools to become effective readers.

It’s at home
This is a business you can work at over your kitchen table or in your office at home. Everyone can feel comfortable and relaxed.
(of course, you can open a commercially-based operation if you choose.)

Working your business out of your home helps to keep the fees lower. Your students are relaxed. Parents appreciate this and you never have to travel to work!

It’s inexpensive
You are the sole owner. There will never be royalties or annual fees to pay.

With the purchase of a license, you receive materials for 30 students and 2 teacher’s manuals. Our license allows you to work from two locations and gives you freedom to duplicate all student materials
.

Currently, the cost of the license, materials, and training is only $6,000. No other program is so low-cost or as effective as ours.

Part-time with 4 to 8 students you could be earning $1,450 to 2,900 per month.

Full-time with 10 to 20 students you could be earning $3,600 to 7,200 per month.

The above earnings are based on fees of $30 per session at three sessions a week per student. (Some locations charge as much as $80 per hour.)

It’s rewarding
Many parents will come to you out of frustration. They may be at their wit’s end and you are their last hope. When their children enter your reading program they will be amazed at the student’s progress. One of the first things the parent will tell you is that the child feels better about him/herself. Self-esteem begins to change almost immediately.

You are actually giving hope to this child along with the skills that have been so needed.
