Don Johnston Announces the Release of SOLO® Edition Products: Read:OutLoud™, Draft:Builder® and Write:OutLoud®

March 17, 2005—Los Angeles, CA and Volo, IL—

Don Johnston Incorporated announces the release of their revolutionary new SOLO Edition products at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Conference. SOLO Edition reading and writing solutions promise to change the way students learn and educators teach by providing incomparable supports and explicit frameworks that build the critical literacy skills students need to be independent thinkers, readers and writers.

  • Read:OutLoud, a brand new reading technology, is the text reader that supports students with modeling, scaffolding and practice of research-based reading strategies to ensure comprehension of text across the curriculum.
  • Draft:Builder is the writing and graphical organizer that uses a structured framework to step students through the logical progressive tasks of planning, organizing, note-taking and compiling a first-draft.
  • Write:OutLoud, the industry's easiest-to-use talking word processor, provides the simple tools students need to improve the content and quality of their writing and apply conventions skills during the revision, editing and publishing stages of writing.

At a CSUN pre-conference reception Don Johnston was quoted as saying, "We're ecstatic about getting these learning interventions released, and can I stress, that these are releasing within thirty days of our initial timeline-that's almost unheard of in the software development arena! Co:Writer is taking a little longer, but it's a complex and powerful solution that is, without question, unmatched. Co:Writer and SOLO-the completely integrated solution-will ship next month. The real issue was getting these interventions to students right away-I mean the demand for SOLO Edition products was so great, we just couldn't see holding up the others."

Individual product pricing and multiple computer license pricing is available at www.donjohnston.com or by calling the Customer Success Team 800.999.4660
