FreeReading.net is a free, research-based open source reading program for the elementary grades.
"We're excited to partner with an open source instructional program developed by leading researchers and curriculum experts to help educators around the world teach kids to read," said Andy Myers, CEO of Scientific Learning. "At Scientific Learning, we believe there are two sides to effective learning -- a research-based curriculum and a well-prepared brain that is able to capture, process and retain information. Through this partnership, we can provide teachers with easy access to free curriculum that helps students improve the underlying cognitive skills that build brain capacity and accelerate learning."
Scientific Learning said it will contribute lessons and activities drawn from its Fast ForWord and Reading Assistant reading intervention software products. Fast ForWord is a family of research-based educational software products that accelerate learning by developing the student brain. Reading Assistant software combines speech recognition technology with scientifically-based interventions to help students strengthen their reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. In addition, Scientific Learning will create and contribute new lessons to FreeReading.net.
"We are pleased to welcome Scientific Learning to the open source instructional movement, and know that FreeReading users will welcome these new lessons and activities. Scientific Learning's participation is yet another example of how teachers, administrators, researchers, and organizations are together fostering the growth of FreeReading and open source," said Monique McDonough, General Manager at Wireless Generation, which founded FreeReading.net. "In the education market, companies are realizing that open source materials can complement existing offerings and provide a foundation for developing new products and services."
