Introduction
By offering a wide variety of high-interest selections, the Reading Assistant software invites
participants to listen to a model fluent reading of the passage, to read silently at their own pace, and to
review word definitions. Participants then answer guided reading questions designed to boost
comprehension.
After reading a selection, the software assesses the participants comprehension with questions
designed to close the participants comprehension skill gaps.
The software maintains careful performance records and audio recordings for each reading session,
which participants, parents, and teachers can review at any time.
