Advanced Reading
Build Your Reading Speed & Comprehension

This advanced reading program is designed for students at
all upper grade levels, as well as adults.  The amount of
improvement varies from person to person; however, with
diligent use this program allows most people to double and
even to triple their reading speeds while maintaining or
improving their comprehension.  It will help them
increase both their reading speed and overall
comprehension and recall of what is read.


After completing the course, many participants have
doubled or even tripled their effective reading rates. In
general, students who are struggling with reading will need
to complete the Cognitive Skill Builder training prior to
enrolling in this program.


The purpose of this course is to help students advance in
our fast-paced information age – where the ability to read
and understand a vast amount of information quickly is
essential to success.


In this course, participants will:
        Determine their effective reading rate (speed x
comprehension);
        Practice exercises designed to eliminate poor reading
habits that interfere with effective reading;
        Do drills and training exercises that will increase
reading speed while forcing the brain to reduce these
ineffective habits;
        And, monitor their comprehension and effective
reading rate progress by a series of tests given daily.

HELPS STUDENTS WITH A VARIETY OF SPECIAL NEEDS

This Advanced Reading Program by Stepware is a software program that promotes
effective reading habits in students with a wide variety of special needs. An effective
assistive technology tool, it is also known as a Productivity or Self-Improvement
Educational Reading Tool; Reading Improvement and Assessment Software; Reading
Fluency Software; Vision Training Software; and Speed Reading Software.


The Educational Research Institute of America (ERIA) reviewed four independent
studies of the S
tepware program to determine if the results provided valid evidence of its
instructional effectiveness. While using different age groups and training levels, each of
the studies provided evidence that:

The Advanced Reading program increased both users' reading rate and their
comprehension.
The program elicited a positive response in all test groups.
The program proved both easy and enjoyable to use.

The studies documented improvements with students at the elementary through the adult levels, as well as at a variety of ability levels. Perhaps most impressive was that the
students' scores exceeded expected gains in both the experimental groups and the
general school populations.
