Students receive practice in using basic reading improvement strategies. They work with interactive exercises to determine main idea, make inferences, and draw conclusions.

Assessments place students in appropriate units of instruction. Students advance as they demonstrate readiness. They receive immediate instructional feedback throughout.

Scores are automatically kept in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print detailed reports.

The questions, answers and explanations of the programs can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text Talker.

Designed for students in grades 3 through 5 (ages 8 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and older students.
“Thanks for making educational software that engages the video game generation.”
