Overview - PCI READING PROG LVL 1 & 2 SOFTWARE SINGLE USER

Scientifically Research-Based Software Reading Program with Flexibility.

PCI Reading Program Level One & Two Software set is a computer presentation of the print program to teach students with developmental disabilities, autism, and significant learning disabilities to read. The software is accessible for students who are single-switch and scan, touch screen, or mouse users.

The interactive lessons feature errorless teaching. Incorrect answers are removed from the screen, and the student is prompted to make another selection. The software maintains the content and approach from the print version, and can be used alone or in conjunction with the print materials. Level One features a simple user interface with a dude ranch theme. Activities at the PCI Ranch include horseback riding, cow roping, campfires, hayrides, and more. The activities and lessons in Level Two reflect an ocean resort theme. The reward activities include body boarding, riding a watercraft, fishing, whale watching, and more. Both software programs include a teenage Reading Buddy to help guide the student through the activities, offering assistance and encouragement.

Features
Level One teaches the words in groups of five. Level Two teaches new words in groups of ten. The software follows the same five-step lesson cycle of the print program and automatically advances the student to the next appropriate activity. After completing all the activities for one word and after each Posttest, a student is given access to the library, which is a place where the student can make independent choices.

PCI Reading Program Software offers a variety of settings that allows the teacher to adapt the lesson presentation for each student or for an entire class. There are four different categories of student settings in the software: Time, Audio, Lesson, and Accessibility. These include the ability to set the scanning size, color, and speed; change the font size; have verbal cues repeated; and turn off sound effects. In addition, the teacher may select a particular lesson for the student to review or change the order of lesson presentation. After each Posttest, the software will suggest a recommended sequence of review activities for each word missed. The teacher can follow the recommendation or create a customized review based on the student's specific learning needs.

The Level Two Software offers formative and summative assessments. The teacher can enter scores and anecdotal notes for PCI Reading Program activities that are completed away from the computer. The scores can then be reviewed or printed out for use in parent conferences or for Adequate Yearly Progress reports. A teacher may also choose to periodically generate parent letters that communicate a student's program progress.
