Accu-Reading
Helps students master specific reading skills.
Provides
short non-fiction selections designed to improve specific
reading skills: main idea, vocabulary, sequence, factual recall,
inference, and drawing conclusions.
After an assessment, students work on specific skills or
learn in a mixed practice format. They receive help and
contextual feedback throughout.
Scores are kept in a record management system that
enables teachers and students to monitor independent learning.
The questions, answers and explanations of the program can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text Talker.
Designed for students in grades 5 through 11 (ages
