Kurzweil 3000 for grades K-6
Primary Grades -- reading for enjoyment.
One of the most powerful lessons for a child in the early grades is the thrill of learning -- the energy of art and music, the challenge of numbers, and the infinite possibilities of reading.
With Kurzweil 3000 reading software, a child struggling to read can share in the magic of reading with full color page scans of any text, adjustable reading speeds, and dual highlighting to engage the student in the reading process.
The result is a child that sees reading as a joy, not a chore, and a student empowered with one of the greatest learning tools -- the ability to read well and the desire to read often.
Customer Profile #1
Marilyn is a 5th grade teacher. Some of the students in her class have difficulty reading and require additional attention with their work. As a dedicated teacher, Marilyn is happy to help her "special" students but finds it increasingly difficult to balance her time equally among all students in the class.
Recently, Marilyn's school purchased the Kurzweil 3000, a PC-based reading tool that is assisting her struggling readers with fluency training and phonemic awareness. The Kurzweil 3000 audible and visual feedback of words and phrases also helps to increase reading accuracy and speed.
Marilyn likes the fact that Kurzweil 3000 lets her students read independently. This success oriented solution has increased their motivation to learn, and best of all, has eased their learning frustrations.
Customer Profile #2
Suzy is a rambunctious fourth grader with an ear for the violin. "It's a gift," says her mother. "She learns a new piece and in a few days, she's playing it like a pro."
Suzy has a bit more trouble with reading. A reading disability makes it hard for her to quickly identify words on sight and turn them into language. Since she began working with the Kurzweil 3000 reading software, she has become an avid reader as she is a musician.
"I hated to read because it took forever and I made a lot of mistakes. With the computer, it's fun. I can read everything we read in class so I know the answers! It's great, especially the highlighting! I love reading almost as much as playing the violin."
