Kurzweil 3000 for grades 7-12
Secondary Grades -- reading for self-esteem.
The challenge to excel in the high school years demands a complex mix of discipline, self-esteem, and confidence in one's own abilities.
Teenagers face peer pressure, time pressure, and academic pressure, all while struggling with who they are and what they can accomplish.
Slow and troubled readers in the high school years can fall behind in academic subjects that require more and more reading, comprehension, analysis, and writing.
Kurzweil 3000 reading tools help students quicken the pace of their reading, improve comprehension, and develop the confidence to compete...and succeed.
Customer Profile #1
Amy is a middle school teacher who has some students with learning disabilities. While she wants to give every student the opportunity to succeed, she also likes to feel that with the right tools all of her students can compete.
For Amy's students the right tool is the Kurzweil 3000. This innovative PC-based reading system helps students with reading difficulties or learning differences to improve reading speed and comprehension.
It enables active reading in which students create questions and vocabulary words before reading the text. This can be done through the Kurzweil 3000 study skills tools and guide.
Amy looks for mastery of information through the summarization of notes and written material that she gives her students. Summarization of notes becomes easier using the Kurzweil 3000 by manipulating information in electronic format.
And with the new Test Taking and Form Fill Out features in Kurzweil 3000, Amy's students can type answers right onto a scanned test or worksheet, listen to them, and then print out the page complete with their answers.
Kurzweil 3000 allows Amy's students to show what they've learned. So far the Kurzweil 3000 and Amy's students are seeing improvements in their reading and in their overall performance.
Customer Profile #2
Bobby is a 7th grader, very well liked, and a pretty fair pitcher for the baseball team. Ask him how many strikeouts Nolan Ryan had, and he'll snap out the answer without missing a beat.
"He's a very energetic kid," his dad says, "Whatever he does, he gives it 110%." However, his seventh grade teacher observed that for all his energy, in the classroom Bobby was withdrawn and quiet.
He was having difficulty with spelling and reading and she noted his progressive lack of self-esteem. So, she introduced him to the Kurzweil 3000 reading program. Life hasn't been the same since.
"My reading used to be ok, but I always got stuck on new words so I got really confused. Now, I use the software to read schoolwork and my computer magazines, and surf the Web. It's cool!"
