Abstract: A computer-based method of providing reading training to a student is provided. The method, based on a training model having individualized program streams, incorporates automatic system intervention to enhance program mastery and decrease reliance on teacher resources. This automatic intervention may accelerate a training stream for students demonstrating early mastery or it may add a review step and/or program modifications for students who are struggling with assigned tasks. Although teachers are advised of a student's progress through the multi-stage program, hands-on intervention is only required for students experiencing extreme difficulties.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种为学生提供阅读训练的基于计算机的方法。 该方法基于具有个性化程序流的训练模型，结合自动系统干预以增强程序掌握并减少对教师资源的依赖。 这种自动干预可能会加速培训流程，为学生展示早期的掌握，或者可能为正在努力分配的任务的学生添加一个审查步骤和/或程序修改。 尽管教师被告知学生通过多阶段课程取得的进展，但只有遇到极端困难的学生才需要进行实际的干预。

Abstract: An electronic learning device configured to receive in a predetermined orientation a book having an arrangement of selectable mode icons, selectable content and a page identifier. Non-volatile memory in the electronic learning device has instructions associated with each mode icon, and data associated with the selectable content. A controller is in electrical communication with a page identification sensor and a position sensor for detecting the presence of a selector. The controller is configured a) to operate in accordance with instructions associated with each mode icon, b) to determine the position of the selector when the selector is within the active range of the position sensor, c) to recognize the page identifier, and a selection by the selector of one of the selectable mode icons, the selectable indicia or the selectable content and d) to send to the electronic user interface a signal associated with the selection.

Abstract: Methodologies for improving a student's phonemic awareness, decoding, spelling, oral and written comprehension are described herein. The method is embodied in a suite of twelve exercises operable on a computing device. The exercises are geared towards training of 1st and 2nd grade students but are not limited to that. The methods present an entertaining screen environment, with target stimulus, and foil or distracter stimulus presented visually, textually, and aurally. The student is required to identify the target stimulus from the distracter stimulus within the context of each exercise. Progress from easier trials to more difficult trials is made as the student successfully completes particular difficulty levels.

Abstract: A method for live-learning language skills comprises the steps of providing, in a live-learning environment, at least one visual display operative to display images correlated with corresponding sounds to a non-static user positioned in a line-of-sight from the display and enabling the user to view each image in close temporal proximity to hearing its corresponding sound. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the method provides a live-learning environment full of clues that help decode the images, thereby mimicking the natural language acquisition of humans.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an interactive storybook that is divided into parts that requires a reader to find hidden clues in order to complete the story. The story begins as a traditional book-type story, except when a part is completed, a first clue, which may take the form of a riddle, is provided to direct the reader to the next part. The clue provides the reader with the location of a lock securing a chamber containing a hidden part and how to determine a combination for the lock. In the preferred embodiment, the location of the hidden part is within the covers. At the end of this hidden part is a second clue that tells the reader the location of the lock that secures the chamber, which contains the subsequent part to the story and how to determine a combination of that lock. This sequence continues until the story is complete.
