Most reading programs assume you already know how English works. This one teaches it. The Language Enrichment Program develops an explicit understanding of the structure of English — applied American English grammar and the inference skills that turn vocabulary into real comprehension.

And here is the heart of it: if English is your second or third language, the struggle was never your ability — you simply hadn’t been taught the language yet. Give your intelligence the right tools and it shows. In Jerome Smith’s classrooms, ESL students regularly finished among the fastest to complete the program.

It is self-instructional and self-paced, for learners of every age from eight through adult. Most finish in about 24 to 72 hours of focused work — and whether you move quickly or carefully, you arrive at the same place: stronger reading comprehension and lasting inference skills that make every future course, book, form, and conversation easier.

Build a solid foundation once, and the rest of English — and everything you read in it — opens up.
