The KidBiz3000®
Nova5000 Reading Solution

A HANDHELD READING SOLUTION FOR THE CLASSROOM

Prismworks Technology, in conjunction with Achieve 3000®, has developed a mobile solution using the KidBiz 3000® program, working on a wireless Nova5000. Our solution provides schools with a tool for improving reading and writing skills within the classroom.Nova 5000

In a KidBiz 3000® lesson, each student uses a wireless Nova5000 to receive news-based reading assignments. All children read about the same event—at their own reading levels—and then complete a set of related activities. Kids get their daily KidBiz3000® e-mail and they're off - working independently at their own level and pace.
