AceReader Elite is our ultimate edition of the program. Our goal was to create a version of the software with more features and content than any other product on the market while keeping it very simple to use. We accomplished our goal. We took our $129 school edition of the program and added four additional Test Sets (another $60 value) and also made many improvements (listed below). In our continued effort to give a great value at a great price, we are pricing this new Elite edition of the program at the low price of only $149.95 for a two workstation license. Our product along with our top rated support makes AceReader Elite your number one choice. Quantity pricing available (refer to order forms). Below is a list of new and updated features:
- New and Improved User Interface - Our new User Interface is modern, clean and makes the program easier to use than ever. A new optional startup screen makes it easy to understand how the program is organized and then launches you into the part of the program that you want to use.
New and Categorized Training Activities - We added more training activities and categorized them with simple explanations to help users understand what the training activities are doing and why. The new Drill activities are now broken into the following basic speed reading exercise categories:
- Minimizing Subvocalization (pronouncing the words in your mind while you read)
- Eliminating Re-Reading & Regression (letting your eyes wander back to re-read text)
- Expanding your Eye Fixation Zone (ability to read a wider text width when your eyes are focused on a single point)
- Reducing your Eye Fixation Time (time spent when your eyes are focused on a single point)
- Increasing your Re-Fixation Speed (ability to reposition your eyes at a rapid rate)
This new way of organizing the training activities was a major enhancement to the program and makes the program easier than ever to use.
Goal Setting - Allows you to keep track of where you are relative to your goal. The program also includes Courses and Drills to help you reach your goal. Courses and Drills automatically adjust according to your skill level. When setting your goal, we also provide you with a chart of typical and optimal reading speeds to help you determine a realistic goal.
- Themed Material - All of our core Test Sets (American History, Earth & Space Science, Famous People, Fun Facts, and SAT Prep) are now included in this version of the program. You no longer need to purchase them as separate add-ons. We have also included Courses for each theme. This is a major enhancement to the program. You can pick a theme for the training exercises that match your interest and learn interesting educational material while learning how to become an efficient reader.
- eBooks - We added 50 handpicked eBooks that you can access from the File drop down menu from within our Reading Mode section of the program. Note: Our web site offers links to thousands of eBooks that you can access and load into AceReader with only a few clicks.
- Advanced Administration - Includes all the Administration functions that have held up to the needs of schools and learning centers over the past 15 years. The administration functions allow you to manage students (including the ability to assign students to classes), generate reports and graphs for monitoring your students progress plus the ability to set many program options. The administration functions also allow you to create and customize the Tests, Drills and Games. For example, you can easily create your own Flash Card material and the program will make a game using your material via the Flash Card Game. The Comprehension Test and Drill Text Editors include a readability statistics analysis tool to help you determine the grade level and complexity of text.
- Unlimited Users - Each student will logon with their name and the program will keep the program settings and test scores separate for each user.
- Daily Status Indicator - The program now includes a daily status progress meter in the automated Course Mode that shows you the recommended number of activities to perform each day. Note: The administration functions allow you to tailor the number of activities to perform each day.
- Speed Reading Stopwatch - When taking a self-paced reading/comprehension test, the program will now show you a running clock and your current Words per Minute in real time while you read. So now, you don't need to complete the self-paced reading/comprehension test to see what your speed is. This innovative new speed reading stopwatch is small enough to not hinder your reading, but handy to look at while reading.
