A method and system provides procedures/routines to teach certain
repertoires, such as reading, to learners without a teacher present. The
various routines can be provided or implemented via a computer network,
such as the Internet, so that multiple learners can access and use the
routines. Feedback features take into account that the Internet is a
medium where it is difficult to directly monitor the learner's activities
during the course of various lessons provided by the routines. The
routines may be implemented in a sequence of episodes, with each episode
systematically building on the particular skills learned in a prior
episode. Some of these routines include establishing routines, adduction
routines, potentiating routines, composite routines, sequential composite
routines, fluency routines, motivation routines, application routines,
and the overall sequencing of these routines.
