As a volunteer computer lab teacher I have taught RWT to about 600 kids in K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd. 4th grades and to after school classes of low readers. I gave RWT to my granddaughter Jaclyn when she was 6 and just finishing K. It is amazing how much and how fast RWT wired her brain in a new and much more efficient way. When in 5th grade Jaclyn was reading at 12th grade level.

I have studied the efficiency of kids using software in 1st and 2nd grades. Many schools are using software that is largely fun and games without real learning value tied into the curriculum in the classroom. Not so with RWT. It actually teaches 9 basic thinking skills simultaneous, namely. HOW TO: listen, remember, concentrate, touch type, write, read, spell, punctuate, and computer basics. And all this to a first grade brain!

My studies show that after a child in first grade has wired their brain with the 40 new RWT sound to keystroke (letter) brain circuits, they learn from 3 to 8 times as much in class.

Steve Allen in his book “DUMBTH, The Lost Art of Thinking” said we teach our kids WHAT to think, not HOW to think. He is so right.

Have you studies how education and software intersect? If so what are your most important findings?
