MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach
© 2014 Mindplay
Upgraded with Lexile ratings and a cloud-based delivery system for any type of browser-based computer, MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach (MVRC) "helps students improve their reading skills measurably in 40 hours" by differentiating instruction for each student, and letting children work at their own pace. It is "appropriate for special needs, dyslexic, struggling readers, and intermediate to advanced English language learners." Two new modules were added: Comprehension and Grammar, and all other modules were enhanced. Other features include real-time reports. Each student’s reading abilities are first assessed with MindPlay’s RAPS 360 test, and then the program creates a prescriptive reading plan. The test adapts to each student’s performance. MVRC includes 20 levels of instruction and 40 practice activities. Seven virtual coaches and three certified speech pathologists guide student through the program by way of captured videos. Content includes 44 phonemic awareness lessons, 62 phonics lessons, 40 comprehension skill lessons, and 60 grammar, meaning and writing lessons. Two additional modules provide students with practice in fluency and vocabulary with 30,000 vocabulary words. Students practice fluency and comprehension with a library of 1,000+ Lexiled passages.
