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.
