Jensen's "Bridging the 3 R's and 3 A's in Education" project combines concepts of "access, analysis, and application" with standard core curriculum to improve student achievement. Supplemental computer software is added to the classroom and adapted to students' individual needs to extend basic math skills and improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar. Students hone abilities in fundamental areas and build enthusiasm for learning through stimulating, interactive instruction. The software helps them work at individual paces and get the right amount of help when they need it.
