Tarrant County College District in Texas Has Renewed Their License for eSee-N-Read™ Reading Tool for PCs for an Additional 3 Years on All Five Campuses
Aurora, IL. (PRWEB) June 25, 2014 -- In today’s learning environment, educators are finding that digital devices hold benefits for engaging students in learning. However, they also have discovered two unique learning challenges that are now surfacing when students read using a computer or digital device:
1. People read up to 30% slower online than on paper. This position is supported by research conducted by by P. Zaphiris, and S.H. Kumiawan, Wayne State University (http://bit.ly/1oJT2wW)
2. Reading comprehension appears to be suffering as students read content online. This position is supported by Benjamin Herold in an article in the May (2014) issue of Education Week, in which he states “…Comprehension may suffer when students read on the digital devices now flooding into classrooms, an emerging body of research suggests.” (http://bit.ly/1qPXf49)

• Reading fluency and comprehension
• Left to right tracking and right to left visual sweeping to the next line
• Control of visual fields as they read online
• Accuracy of on-line data input
• Fatigue and eye-strain
eSee-N-Read™ is a user-friendly, downloadable tool for PCs that helps users of any level as they read, study, and take standardized tests online. It is based on the patented design of the See-N-Read® Learning Tools suite of products from CadenaSmith Enterprises, Aurora IL (http://www.see-n-read.com ). It is available as an individual download or as site licenses.
eSee-N-Read™ is effective as an instructional tool.
