Research: CAST WiggleWorks was researched and designed in collaboration with the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST). CAST is an educational, not-for-profit organization that uses technology to expand opportunities for all people, including those with disabilities. CAST researchers have found that emerging readers achieve greater reading success if the literacy curriculum includes flexible, universally designed multimedia tools and inclusion strategies. WiggleWorks offers such a curriculum by challenging and supporting beginning readers through text, graphics, speech, sounds, and customizable access features. To learn more about CAST and WiggleWorks, visit the CAST Web site. You can also read more about the collaboration between CAST and Scholastic in the research report "Using Technology to Strengthen Employee and Family Involvement in Education" at the U.S. Department of Education Web site. |
