The online
READING SKILL SERIES
developed by Scientific Learning increases processing
efficiency and builds critical reading skills. No other reading intervention program offers a more
scientifically proven approach to helping students quickly improve skills. Instant feedback and
engaging exercises help motivate students to achieve success.
There are 5 levels in the Reading Skills Series. Each level incorporates the same underlying
cognitive skills as the required Cognitive Skill Builder programs and builds on the skills
introduced in the preceding levels.
Reading Level 1
builds critical early reading skills, with an emphasis on phonemic
awareness,
early decoding skills, vocabulary knowledge and skills, and motivation for
reading.
Reading Level 2
consolidates early reading skills, with a focus on applying phonics and
decoding strategies, improving word recognition, and understanding the rules for reading
comprehension.
Reading Level 3
builds on the Reading Level 2 product by concentrating on reading
knowledge and fluency, with a focus on phonology and spelling, morphological properties
and
complexity, syntactic complexity, vocabulary and comprehension.
Reading Level 4
exercises expand reading skills by applying knowledge of word origins,
word
forms, sentence structures, and punctuation rules to improve comprehension.
Reading Level 5
expands earlier reading skills by applying knowledge of word origins,
word
forms, sentence structures, and punctuation rules to improve comprehension. It
concentrates
on enhancing advanced reading comprehension and expanding vocabulary
skills.
Reading Fluency & Comprehension Proficiency
Reading Assistant software combines advanced speech recognition
technology with scientifically-based interventions to help students
strengthen their reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
Reading Assistant acts as a patient, non-judgmental listener for
emerging, struggling or self-conscious readers. Trainers or teachers
receive assessment reports and can listen to audio samples of their
students as if they had been sitting next to their students, listening. It
can
only
be used
with direct personal instruction
at the Lab.
The software maintains careful performance records and the
corresponding audio of each reading session for review by student and
teacher. The program computes the students words correct per minute
automatically.
