A collection of Merit programs selected programs selected to cover the core competencies students need to know. The software is self-paced and self-correcting. Students advance as they demonstrate readiness. Scores are tracked in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print detailed reports. With most of the English language programs, students may elect to hear questions and answers spoken aloud. Designed for students in grades 3 through 5 (ages 8 and up), the software can also be used by older students. Bundle pricing offers a significant cost savings.
