Grammar Fitness

This award-winning program helps students master troublesome points of grammar.
It provides students with interactive grammar exercises that help students master difficult points in English
grammar. After an assessment, students advance through the program at their own pace. They receive
frequent explanations for their answers, whether the response is right or wrong.

Tutors and students are able to track improvement through our record management system.
The questions, answers and explanations of the programs can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text
Talker.

Designed for students in grades 4 through 8 (ages 9 and up), the software can also be used by English
language learners and adult students.
This program is only available for use at the Lab, not at home.

Math Fact Builder

This intervention program uses the research-validated
FASTT system (Fluency and Automaticity through
Systematic Teaching with Technology) to help all students
develop fluency with basic math facts.

Through his research with struggling students Dr. Ted
Hasselbring identified a need for a targeted math fact
fluency intervention. Discouraged with drill and practice
programs, Hasselbring developed this fun  approach which
helps students establish a lasting mental link between the
facts and their answers. The program automatically
differentiates instruction based on each student’s
individual fluency levels in customized,10-minute daily
sessions.

Students are eager to build fluency  because of the targeted
instruction, engaging practice games, and embedded
motivators.

Parents and clinic professionals benefit from instantaneous
progress monitoring,
comprehensive reports, and a simple implementation
model.

This proven effective program helps all  students achieve
math fact fluency – and build the confidence in
mathematics they need to succeed.
This program is only
available for use at the Lab, not at home.
