StepWare Releases AceReader Elite (Version 10 Series)

Online, April 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - StepWare Releases a major AceReader Elite update. Now includes hundreds of e-books, video tutorials and text-to-speech capabilities.

For 2014, StepWare has released an updated and enhanced version of AceReader Elite, a powerful Windows and Mac application that helps students increase their reading rate, comprehension and fluency. With this new version, StepWare has added more content and new features to help make it easier for users to reach their reading improvement goals.

The 2014 version contains a whopping 830 grade-leveled and themed Reading Comprehension Tests; 625 built-in e-books of varying lengths and difficulty on a wide variety of topics; video tutorials; and a text-to-speech feature useful for early reading fluency. It still allows you to import your own content and to choose your learning Mode: 1) a completely automated Course Mode, 2) a pick-and-choose Menu Mode, and 3) a fully customizable Reading Mode that allows you to train with material you need to read anyway.

"I'm pleased that we can offer such a diverse package to our customers," said Bernie Marasco, President of StepWare. "We truly believe AceReader's capabilities can make a difference in their reading efficiency, and thereby their lives. What has kept us motivated over the past 18 years is the positive feedback we continue to get from individual consumers, parents, students and reading instructors - even the military. We feel honored that our program is helping this wide variety of users."

Along with the new features, AceReader Elite continues to offer the fundamental training activities that help readers break the five habits keeping them from reading quickly and efficiently. The software trains you to 1) minimize subvocalization (pronouncing the words in your mind as you read them); 2) eliminate re-reading (letting your eyes wander back to earlier text); 3) expand your eyes' fixation zone (so you can read more text without refocusing your eyes); 4) reduce your eyes' fixation time; and 5) increase your re-fixation speed (so you can reposition your eyes faster).

The software also helps users set reasonable goals and makes an assessment of each reader's skill level; it then automatically adjusts its Drills and Courses to the individual. Results are available in chart or graph form, and there is even a readability statistics analysis tool to help determine the grade level and complexity of the chosen text.

Whether you want to improve your own reading efficiency or if you are a parent who wants to give your children the tools they need to succeed in school and in life, AceReader Elite has what you need.

The program supports an unlimited number of users, making it ideal for the entire family. A single-user license covers all of the people in your immediate family, and up to three family computers.
