From the supplier: The Alabama State Department of Education has a program designed to identify students who are unable to meet minimum standards in mathematics, reading and language skills. The program identifies a set of 199 basic academic skills every child must master to move through the educational system. The Department set up the Alabama Basic Competencies Program, then discovered it had to find a way to easily provide remedial instruction. Computer-aided instruction was found to be the best way to meet the needs of students. The state, recognizing the difficulty of integrating commercial software into curriculum, funded a consortium to develop software for public schools. The consortium has, at the beginning of its fifth year, developed most mathematics competencies, many reading competencies and has begin work on language programs. The methods of developing competencies are outlined in detail.
