Andy Kaiser Review

 

Software Review in HOMESCHOOLING Parent
July/August 2003 Issue, page 20.

"For homeschoolers who are interested in helping their children learn to read faster and more accurately with documented results, AceReader Pro Deluxe is a must for your home classroom!"

HomeSchooling Parent Review

 

Review by
Children's Software & New Media Revue,
Issue 53, Volume 10, No. 3.


"This straightforward program teaches children and adults how to read faster and understand more (improve comprehension). It's easy to use. First you take self-paced reading comprehension tests to determine your base reading speed. Then, you perform reading drills and play skill-building games. Tests and drills are broken out by grade levels 1-12+. Exercises consist mainly of speed drills and multiple choice assessment of understanding. Detailed records are kept, and the program is customizable in that teachers can make their own drills and tests. You won't find frills‹ just straightforward skill practice."

Childrens Software Revue

 

Mentioned In Book

Going to University: The Secrets of Success

Page 54 states: "If your university offers a free course it is worth doing, but manycommercial courses seem over-priced. Speed reading programs are nowavailable for computers and provide a decent and cheaper alternative aslong as you persist and practise. I found “Ace Reader” from Stepware Inc. particularly useful, and I confess that I rather enjoyed the little games."

AceReader Pro Review
in infopackets Windows newsletter

By Jake Ludington

Childrens Software Revue

 

Review by
Learning & Leading with Technology,
September 2004, Vol. 32 No. 1


"...AceReader Pro is an excellent computer-assisted reading improvement program to improve reading speed, efficiency, and comprehension... "

"...It was amazing to me how quickly the drills made a difference in my base reading speed. After only 20 minutes, I saw improvement in my reading speed and that of my student testers. I imagine in a lab or classroom setting, that 20 minutes a couple of times a week would lead to a noticeable reading speed improvement for many students..."
