The program is complex enough that the student can repeat it on a periodic basis and demonstrate changes without worrying about them memorizing the answers. And even if they do, it's good long term memory exercise. It's based on Orton-Gillingham phonics and is quite easy to use and exceptionally effective. For academic stuff above 4th grade reading level we use computer-based Plato. The thing I really like about Plato is the small-skill building instruction process, followed by a repetetion phase and then on to a 5 question mastery test.
Success comes quickly.
They also have the oportunity to attempt the mastery test first so they can get an idea of where they're going. Most apprehensive students like the impersonality of the computer. Staff assistance is always at-hand. We also conduct multilevel math and reading classes. We're not a large center and reported a little over 16,000 contact hours this past year.
