Speeding up Young Readers

How about instead of telling poor readers to slow down, tell them to read faster? I know it sounds like a recipe for disaster, but RocketReader Speed Reading 8 is a proven plan for speeding up reading speed and comprehension for both lagging and leading readers. The program uses artificial intelligence techniques to eliminate the bad habits that slow kids down while building vocabulary and reading speed. There are lesson plans, more than 500 reading selections with comprehension quizzes as well as preparation for SAT tests. A single use license costs $129 although a school can reduce that to $20 for 50 students. A district or large school can get the program for 2,000 students as low as $6 per student. Reading Rocket works with PCs, Macs and Linux computers and a 10 day free trial is available.
