Proven Methodology
Years of
experience and trials as well as comparative studies of
conventional methods of teaching and learning have
demonstrated that the interactive speech methods used by the Traveling-Tutor™ deliver positive results by increasing
student engagement and developing reading
skills. Presentation of computer-generated speech
reinforces acquisition of the phoneme-grapheme relationship
and reading aloud to the student reduces effort in reading
skill development. Studies included instances where 3rd
graders starting 3 years below grade level averaged 2 years of
progress in eight months. TT is an anywhere, anytime
education system to support America’s teachers and help insure
that more students are able to successfully progress from
elementary school through high school.
The Traveling-Tutor™ is ideal for ELL
(English Language Learners) students and their families
with Spanish language support. Benefits
extend to other family members in the home environment;
helping families reach new levels of achievement.
