Today’s readers make tomorrow’s leaders.
About Us
Founder and President
Cliff Ponder, an elementary school principal and teacher for 20 years, observed that large numbers of students couldn’t learn to read no matter how hard they tried. Years of scientific research on the neural architecture of the brain revealed that flawed educational theories were to blame. Drawing upon this evidence, he developed a logical, step-by-step method of teaching reading that works in harmony with the brain. This Academic Associates Reading Course is being used in six countries and 225 centers across the United States.
