Builds confidence in early readers and helps develop life-long reading skills. Interactive exercises teach key reading concepts through illustrated stories. Concepts include vocabulary-in-context, main idea, detail, sequence and inference. Assessments place students at the appropriate reading level and students advance as they demonstrate readiness while receiving immediate instructional feedback throughout. Scores are automatically kept in a record management system that allows teachers to easily view and print detailed reports. All questions, answers and explanations in the programs can be spoken aloud. Designed for students in grades 2 through 3 (ages 7 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and older students.
