The Reading Challenge:
Did you know that an estimated 15%-20% of the entire US population has some type of learning disability, and as many as 80% of those with learning disabilities have reading related problems? As you know, reading is a fundamental skill not only for academic and professional success, but simply to make it through our daily lives. Learning disabilities cannot be “fixed,” however, they can be greatly improved with better instructional reading tools.

Another challenge we face is that school systems across the country are under increasing pressure to demonstrate students’ academic competence. The need for tools that help students succeed despite reading disabilities continues to grow. Moreover, recent government legislation requires that students with disabilities be mainstreamed into regular classrooms. Now, teachers face the challenge of accomplishing specific academic goals with students who have a wide variety of skills and backgrounds.

How We Can Help:
While there are many reading programs and software-based reading products on the market today, most of these programs are complex systems that provide a substitute for the school’s reading curriculum. Snapters is different.

• Snapters accompanies chapter books used in most 3rd-8th grade reading curricula. No other program supports teaching of authentic literature.
  
  
• The program can be used by teachers instructing an entire class, in a reading lab setting for special education students, or by individual students at home who struggle with independent reading.
  
  
• While many reading programs attempt to do the job of the teacher in the classroom, Snapters is used by skilled teachers to help a wide variety of skill levels move through a traditional reading curriculum at the same pace.
  
  
• Snapters’ simple web-based format is flexible and easy to integrate into teachers’ current reading curricula.
