Reading Plus prepares students to be career or college ready, online!
 
Using adaptive learning technology, Reading Plus tailors practice lessons for both strong and struggling readers. Materials range from grade one to thirteen.  Students are matched to their individual performance levels, developing comprehension, vocabulary and silent reading fluency.
Students who commit to consistent, focused practice gain confidence and competence in  reading.

 SkillBott is designed to teach the "soft skills" that students will need to be successful in the workplace.

Soft skills, sometimes called 21st Century Skills, are the attributes, behaviors and values that employers want in new employees. Employers want candidates with a mastery of both professional behavior and personal management skills, as well as the content skills they will use for the specific job requirements. In addition, the SkillBott Explorer helps students determine the career areas that will be a good personal match for them in their future.

          Why New Hires Fail

"When our research tracked 20,000 new hires, 46% of them failed within 18 months. But even more surprising than the failure rate was that when new hires failed, 89% of the time it was for attitudinal reasons and only 11% of the time for a lack of skill. The attitudinal deficits that doomed these failed hires included a lack of coachability, low levels of emotional intelligence, motivation and temperament."  "Hire for Attitude", Forbes, January 2012
