The National Reading Panel did an intensive review of effective reading strategies for teaching reading comprehension. The most outstanding scholars in the field, with no financial ties to anything involved in the study, conducted a remarkably thorough analysis to see which techniques and strategies yielded significant and reliable improvement in students' reading comprehension. An interesting secondary conclusion from the National Reading Panel's report is that reading comprehension should be learned using authentic texts, not worksheets and stories made-up just for the purpose of teaching reading comprehension. And that is exactly what Egorg is intended to do. Egorg is a virtual tutor based on those strategies. Can also be used for writing.
