How does the software differentiate instruction for different learning styles?

Compass Learning Odyssey Reading is an educational software program that incorporates differentiated instruction in writing and listening activities. It helped in making differentiate instruction for different learning styles by using computer-based Reading software to increase students reading achievement and skill through thematic units. So, the lessons are thematic and follow the same pattern:
1- prereading activity introducing new academic ideas.
2- A digital presentation of the story, and
3-comprehension exercise that focuses on sequencing, main ideas and predicting.


Does the software increase skills in knowledge reinforcement, concept
  development, and or problem-solving? How? 
 According to what I am read in the article, yes, software increase skills in knowledge reinforcement, concept development, and or problem-solving because it allows the student  to apply their prior learning knowledge to new life situations. It also helps them comprehend the objective.



What is the name of the company that publishes the software product?  
Compass Learning.


How will you use this software in your own classroom? Why?  
Create diagnostic tests or Self-Assessment would be a great way to use compass learning software in my classroom. This will help me as a teacher to have a true picture of  my student's achievement. It also helps learners understand how they learn and identify learning strategies based on their learning styles.
