We are in our second year of using Weaver Instructional Systems (Speed Reader and Reading Efficiency). The trial edition may not give you a complete picture of how the program might interface with your computer lab setup -- or whether it will meet the objectives expressed in your curriculum design. If you want specific information about my instructional experiences using this software, please contact me off-list at (714-564-4512) or [log in to unmask] Melodye Wiens, Santiago Canyon College Orange, CA From: Johnson, Janice F [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Computer-assisted reading instruction We have used Weaver for several years in our developmental reading class. I am pleased with it, and the students seem to like it. I places students at their level, and works on both vocabulary and comprehension. It is much more reasonable than PLATO I believe. -----Original Message----- From: SANDY SAMPSON [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 9:45 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Computer-assisted reading instruction Does anyone have any experience with the Weaver Instructional System? We are trying to decide on a computer-based system to enhance our developmental reading classes in the reading center. We are looking into Plato or Weaver. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
