We've seen some pretty drastic gains in student reading comprehension by using this software in a trial for 12-14 year olds.
When AceReader is in
RSVP mode, text is displayed in the center of the text area.
RSVP can help you to read faster than normal because your
eyes do not need to move. In RSVP mode, the words come to
your eyes instead of your eyes going to the words. When AceReader
is in TSP mode, text is displayed in a manner that forces
your eyes to move just like they do in normal reading. TSP
can train you to read in a normal fashion but at higher speeds.
Both modes can help you learn to take in multiple words at
a time..
The amazing thing about Moodle is that it is much easier to identify writing and reading problems (because of the constant interaction). We're now looking for ways to build in some technologies (via Moodle program links, etc.) to address some of the skill issues we're finding. Thanks in advance,
