Innovative
Knowledge Introduces Breakthrough Line of
“Weekly Reader”
Educational
Software, Content and Technology for All Grade Levels
“Mastering Elementary School,” “Mastering Middle School” and
“Mastering High School” Designed for Mac, PC, iPod and Nano
Programs
San Jose, Ca. – August 14, 2007 – Innovative Knowledge, a leading San Jose-based educational
software developer, introduces a breakthrough series of
educational software for all grade levels from pre-school to
high school and SAT math preparation. Developed to help
students with reading, writing, arithmetic and the sciences,
the new software titles, in association with the Weekly
Reader Corporation, include “Mastering Elementary
School,” “Mastering Middle School,” and “Mastering
High School.” Designed to operate on Mac and PC
operating systems, the software can be downloaded to an iPod
or Nano for easy access at school, in the library, or at
home.
The “Mastering”
series of educational software is based on Innovative
Knowledge’s breakthrough learning process called The
Learning System, a family of educational support software,
features a proprietary “multi-sensory” approach that helps
students learn faster and more effectively. According to
Mike Rothstein, president and co-founder of Innovative
Knowledge, the programs engage and involve students on
multiple levels using

cutting edge graphics, video and audio. “It’s a method that
has proven extremely effective in teaching all kinds of
students from the learning disabled to the gifted,”
Rothstein said.
Each title in The Learning
System provides fast, easy access to lessons by way of a
single menu, saving time and enabling more efficient
learning. All lessons share a consistent look and feel,
eliminating the need to learn different menus and
navigational techniques. What’s more, progress can be
precisely monitored by students and parents through exams
presented after each lesson which can be printed out or
taken directly on the computer.
The Learning System
evolved directly from the childhood experiences and
struggles of Rothstein, who was not responding well to the
traditional presentation of education and was considered a
poor or backward student. “It wasn’t until I was diagnosed
with dyslexia that my parents realized my inabilities
weren’t my fault. Things changed dramatically when they
hired a tutor who employed multi-sensory teaching. I have
now brought this tremendously effective learning technique
to our software, which students, or anyone, can use at home
or on the go,” Rothstein said.
Innovative Knowledge,
through an alliance with the Weekly Reader Corporation,
creates and distributes a wide array of top selling
educational, productivity and reference software. “Our
programs were developed from a deep knowledge of technology
and software which we applied to education to create
stimulating, enlightening, encouraging and satisfying
learning experiences,” Rothstein said. “In addition, the
content is available to the students no matter where they
are via iPod, mobile computer, desktop, CD, and DVD,” he
added.
