23. The data driven apparatus for teaching a student to read according to claim 22, wherein the whole word recognition test; the partial word recognition test; and the word sequence recognition test represent three interactive process types respectively corresponding to choosing a target word from a list of displayed words by first communicating the target then choosing the target word from a list of subsequently displayed words; filling in letter blanks by first communicating a target word and then filling in letter blanks of a displayed, partial target word having blanked letters; and determining a correct sequence of words by individually communicating a plurality of words that includes the target word in a first sequence one word at a time, then simultaneously displaying the plurality of words including the target word in a second sequence, and then selecting words from the displayed plurality of words in the first sequence, said presenter presenting the student with at least one of nine interactive processes wherein each interactive process type includes three interactive processes, the three interactive processes including a show only process which communicates the target word by displaying the target word for a show interval, a say only process which communicates the target word by audibly announcing the target word with a speaker or headphone, and a show and say process that communicates the target word by displaying the target word for a show interval and by audibly announcing the target word with a speaker or headphone.

The data driven apparatus for teaching a student to read according to claim 23, wherein each word utilized in the interactive processes includes an associated length that corresponds to a relative difficulty of the associated word, said adjuster adjusting the difficulty level of the interactive process presented by said presenter by progressively adding different words to the words utilized in the interactive process according to the number of iterations performed by said first iterator; and said calculator calculating student performance based on the length of the most recently added word.
