About Carver Learning Systems
The goals of Carver Learning Systems, Inc. are to publish materials that will help all readers improve their reading ability and to eliminate illiteracy worldwide.
Carver Learning Systems was established in 1971 and was incorporated in 1980. For over 30 years the company has published and sold educational materials related to reading.
All of Carver Learning Systems' products are relevant to rauding theory. This theory:
- describes what happens during reading
- explains why most children read normally
- predicts which children will read well and predicts which ones will have problems, such as disabilities and dyslexia.
- allows parents and teachers to control how well children read by using the rauding approach to reading instruction.
