Voyager Expanded Learning Launches New Edition
of Voyager Passport Reading Intervention Program
Addition of Reading Technology Component, Ticket to Read, Enhances Program and Increases Time on Task for Students
Dallas, TX., January 22, 2008 - Voyager Expanded Learning, Inc. announced today, the launch of its new edition of Voyager Passport™, the company's reading intervention program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The new version, which includes a reading technology component called Ticket to Read™, continues to provide students who struggle to read with 30 to 45 minutes of daily, targeted systematic intervention delivered by teachers, along with additional practice time within or outside the classroom.
"We are very excited about the launch of the new edition of Voyager Passport," says Robert Holl, Senior Vice President of Curriculum at Voyager. "Adding the Ticket to Read technology component is an important enhancement to the program. It gives students more opportunities to practice, includes high-interest reading passages and rewards them for reading achievement, all key factors in helping students learn to read."
Like the previous version, Voyager Passport is based on the latest scientific reading research and consists of lessons that focus on word study, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The new technology component, Ticket to Read, is an easy-to-access and easy-to-use website (www.tickettoread.com) designed to increase reading speed, comprehension and vocabulary through a reward system that promotes reading practice at home and school for all students including struggling and on track readers. Students read high-interest passages at increasing levels of difficulty and take passage quizzes to demonstrate they understood what they read while earning points to use in customizing their personal clubhouse. Students can independently practice important reading skills at school, home, library or anywhere there is Internet access.
Ticket to Read is also now included in Voyager's core reading program, the Voyager Universal Literacy System®.
