NATICK, Mass., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Learning Technologies is pleased to announce that Kurzweil 3000® by Kurzweil Educational Systems has been chosen by the readers of District Administration magazine as a Readers' Choice Top 100 Products of 2011. The prestigious acknowledgement is given annually to K-12 education products that have supported education innovation. The winners were selected by the editors of District Administration from hundreds of nominations submitted by readers, including school superintendents and district-level directors in districts across the United States. The winning products were determined by the quantity of nominations received per product, as well as an evaluation of product quality based upon readers' nominations and explanations.

Kurzweil 3000 technology provides reading, writing, and test-taking supports for students who have the cognitive ability but not the literacy skills to learn and perform at grade-level, including students with learning disabilities and second language learners.

"This recognition by the readers of District Administration magazine is especially gratifying because it comes from the people who use Kurzweil 3000 every day to help their students who struggle to read," said Alex Saltonstall, general manager of Kurzweil Educational Systems. "We are pleased and honored to have received this award as it validates our mission to help students fulfill their academic and personal aspirations."
