Academy of READING
Overview
The award-winning Academy of READING® delivers a powerful intervention software solution that complements the curriculum you already have in place to help at-risk students become fluent and proficient readers.
The Academy of READING enables students to develop fluency
in foundation reading skills through focused training
in phonemic awareness, sound symbol association,
phonics and decoding, oral reading fluency and comprehension.
Key Features
- Scales easily from a few students to a classroom,
school or district-wide implementation
- Training streams are automatically assigned based on
each student’s reading abilities relative to their grade
- Students progress at their own pace, filling in skill
gaps to achieve fluency
- Adaptive intervention engine adjusts to students' responses, accelerating training when mastery is demonstrated or reviewing concepts when needed
- Positive feedback and motivational "buddy" characters keep students focused on learning
- Real-time progress monitoring helps teachers with
formative instruction by providing data on errors,
response times and skills mastered
- Browser-based access for students,
teachers and administrators from any workstation
on the network
- Flexible implementation options, including before school, during school (labs, back of classroom),
after school, summer school and community-based
programs to help parents who want to learn English
