Read
Kwik is a product of
Certified
Learning Systems. Current
and previous educational materials were developed by Jerry Coker and his wife
Patti. The current software evolved from teaching every type of learner from age
4 to adult. They both taught reading groups, small specialized groups and many
individual learners.
Many
successes occurred in the 25+ years working in their private school and public
schools before and after their private school adventure.
Jerry
re-entered public education. His success with educating students to read and
compute math resulted in numerous inquiries regarding his methods. A company was
formed, Certified Learning
Systems, to implement reading materials developed for
educators and parents.
The
first materials developed were workbooks containing every type of pencil &
paper
lesson for teaching the system. Six cassette tapes were part of this program.
There was no concerted effort to market the products. Sales to local schools for special
education, bilingual learners, remedial readers, beginning readers of all ages
in elementary, middle school and high school were conducted. Regardless of the
student and educational environment, reading gains were significant and
dramatic.
After
retiring, Read
Kwik was
programmed on a single disk CD. Complimenting the software are learning center
masters, flashcards, bookmarkers with the entire system on the front, wall
charts and a teacher's guide.
Recently
developed transition readers are now available for all grade levels. The Read
Kwik marking system is used
to 'pre-mark' paragraphs and short stories. This allows student to make a direct
transition from software to print. More importantly, this design will rapidly
develop accurate word attack skills.
We
believe this system is the most advanced approach to teaching anyone to read in
a short time, regardless of their abilities.
Plans
for future product development include spelling taught the way students learn
using the system for grades 1-8. A monitoring test for the system is already
outlined and ready for editing.
