The KEC Difference

John R. Kruidenier, Ed.D., director, received his doctorate in literacy from Harvard University. His extensive experience in the field of literacy and reading has familiarized him with the full range of technologies, tools, courseware and instructional strategies used to address reading issues. Unlike many of the educational franchises that have become popular, KEC does not market and implement a signature product. With more than 30 years in the field, KEC empowers students and adults to reach their goals with the most effective approaches drawn from evidence-based practices. Evidenced-based reading instruction means that there is reliable, trustworthy, and valid evidence to suggest that a program or intervention is expected to result in adequate gains in reading achievement. The instruction is based on scientific research and has been published in professional journals. Other terms that may be used are researched-based instruction and scientifically based research.
