My Reading Coach Pilots and Studies
Through the course of developing the My Reading Coach product line, Mindplay
has been involved in a few pilot programs and other related research. In this
section, we make the findings of these studies available to help show the
effectiveness of the program in real-world settings.

The results are divided into five different areas:
- White Papers
-
- This section contains research papers that have involved My Reading
Coach, including a study comparing My
Reading Coach results to an in-class program (for both regular education
and English language learners) and a
research report studying the
effectiveness of computer aided instruction, which used the first version
of what has become My Reading Coach.
