As you might expect, many educational technology providers make very strong claims about what you can accomplish with their products. Certainly, other publishers have incorporated some of the same elements that can be found in Merit programs.
However, it is the way these techniques are implemented that makes Merit one of the most powerful and useful learning tools available to teachers, tutors, parents and students today.
It improves students’ ability to think clearly.
Essential concepts in reading, writing and math are broken down into manageable parts and students apply skills as they learn them. The combination of these techniques develops their ability to synthesize information and make inferences.
It builds students’ confidence as learners.
The software provides personal feedback, multiple methods of instruction and automatic scoring. This enables students to see the impact of their actions and accept responsibility for improving their skills.
It does not replace teachers; it makes them more effective.
Merit’s personalized tips and explanations, combined with built-in tracking features, help teachers improve student achievement. The software reinforces the fundamental concepts that teachers emphasize in most class curricula.
It fits easily into almost any teaching style.

It has been the subject of rigorous scientific-based research.
Independent analysts have performed control versus treatment group studies to evaluate Merit for its effectiveness as an instructional supplement.
It does not take long to get results.
The software is effective and efficient. Research has shown that significant gains in student achievement can be attained after a relatively short time period. In one study, it took only 6 hours of use over four weeks to see improvements.
