Reading Shape-Up -2

Helps students master specific reading skills: main idea, vocabulary, sequence, FACT-opinion, factual recall, and inference. A tutorial introduces each concept. Students receive help and contextual feedback while they work through the program. Students scores are kept in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print reports. The questions, Answers and explanations of the programs can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text Talker. Designed for students in grades 3 through 8 (ages 8 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and adult students.
