Why Institutions Support and Use the Nardagani Reading Program
The Nardagani Reading Program has been embraced by schools, correctional facilities, and literacy organizations around the world as an effective solution for challenged readers of all ages. From middle schools in Idaho to teacher training programs in India, institutions continue to praise Nardagani for its ability to help students quickly and confidently learn to read.
Educators, literacy specialists, and ESL instructors who work with students on IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) have consistently seen success. Research-based studies in U.S. public schools show dramatic reading improvement among students who used the program—many progressing faster than expected.
But perhaps the strongest evidence comes directly from those who teach Nardagani every day. Here’s what institutions and educators are saying.
Building Strong Foundations for Struggling Readers
“The Nardagani Reading Program helps the students mainly on learning to sound out words with symbols and move to reading without the symbols so this is the initial stage where readers like new readers, struggling readers and ESL students of all ages can develop their reading capability. After implying Nardagani as an intervention, we can see the significant difference in their reading competence.”
— Fathima, Central Senior Secondary School, India
In schools like Fathima’s, Nardagani has become an essential intervention. By using simple, easy-to-recognize symbols, students first learn the sounds of English, then gradually transition to reading without support. This bridge helps unlock confidence for struggling readers and English language learners.
Transforming Reading Levels in U.S. Classrooms
“Besides the median improvements, there are some things that are really interesting. The improvement amongst those who had almost no reading skills is spectacular. Some kids basically went from zero to almost third grade level, in just three months! And some of the top readers had terrific improvements as well. It’s exciting to see how effective Nardagani can be on a large group of students in school in such a short amount of time.”
— Buhl Middle School, Idaho
Teachers in Idaho report that students with minimal reading skills have made incredible progress in as little as three months. Even stronger readers improved significantly, demonstrating the program’s adaptability across skill levels.
Reaching Learners Beyond the Classroom
“We have been teaching Nardagani in the jail facility in Hailey, Idaho. Personally, I have been teaching Spanish with this program and it’s very helpful. Nardagani is easier to teach people with the symbols that we use in this program, as you get the sounds exactly the way that it should be pronounced. I believe Nardagani is going to be huge because it is so simple to learn how to read. Once you read, you are learning.”
— Jose, Blaine County Jail Teacher
The simplicity of Nardagani makes it a powerful tool outside traditional classrooms. In correctional facilities, the program provides inmates with a second chance to gain literacy, unlocking new opportunities for learning and personal growth.
Helping Young Children Thrive
“A 5-year-old, bilingual kindergarten student with no prior reading instructions was taught Nardagani on the eight-lesson plan. At the end of 10 weeks, this student showed marked improvement and tested at a second-grade reading level without the Nardagani symbols upon exiting kindergarten.”
— Jon, English Teacher, Nampa School District, Idaho
Nardagani is not just for older students or struggling readers. Young children can also excel quickly with the program. In one case, a bilingual kindergartener with no previous reading experience reached a second-grade reading level in only ten weeks.
Versatile and Effective in Any Setting
“The beauty of the Nardagani program: it makes reading so simple. It works for every age group, offline, online, sessions daily or even spread over multiple weeks.”
— Learn2Teach, India
From online Zoom classes during lockdowns to in-person tutoring in schools and communities, educators consistently praise Nardagani’s flexibility. The method adapts to different schedules, ages, and environments while delivering consistently strong results.
