CTR Review

This reading software combines reading games with attention and memory building exercises. TNT (Test 'n' Train) Reading focuses on the following four areas: grapheme-phoneme matching; sustained attention; mental processing speed; and working memory. The exercises can be set to progress automatically, with each skill tested at each level. If a child has not mastered a skill, he/she receives training until mastery occurs. If a child does master the skill, they are rewarded with a game break. There are three levels, each consisting of three Mastery Steps. Each Mastery Step is based on grade level and progresses from such topics as upper & lower case letter recognition, matching and sequencing (Level 1 - Mastery Step 1 for PreK-K) through discriminating between similar vowel digraphs and distinguishing differences between diphthong sounds (Level 3 - Mastery Step 9 for Grades 1-3). Each Level is priced at $495 for one station with unlimited users, or you can purchase all three Levels for $795.
