New Wireless Reading Intervention Program Scholarships To
Benefit Struggling Readers
IndiVisual Learning, LLC, a leading provider of engaging
academic intervention programs, in co-sponsorship with
Hewlett-Packard, announced today that it will award two
$25,000 ‘Read for Life’ scholarships to two deserving
public, private, charter or parochial schools throughout
the country. Schools must demonstrate financial need, or a
high ESL, ELL or LEP population and a staff dedicated to
working with technology-based education solutions.
Each ‘Read for Life’ Scholarship includes a wireless mobile
lab with five in-class computer based reading workstations
and three years of unlimited student use of IndiVisual
Reading.
IndiVisual Reading is a proven academic reading
intervention for students, ages 8-18, developed through the
vision of former Minnesota Commissioner of Education Howard
Casmey and the instructional methodology of Dr. John
Manning, world renowned reading expert and a former
president of the International Reading Association. The
program has been rigorously tested in schools since its
inception in 1998 and has been found to be extremely
effective in reaching struggling students and advancing
them to read at grade level. In Sleepy Eye, Minnesota,
school superintendent Jay Haugen sees IndiVisual Reading as
a solution to improving his students’ reading across the
board. “This is the first program I’ve had that’s for 100%
of all the kids. This is the first time I’ve seen a
computer technology that’s met the promise of teaching
kids.”
