Founding one of the most celebrated software houses of the personal computing revolution and establishing the educational software industry on the Apple II, education pioneers Sherwin Steffin and Steven Pederson created Compu-Read in 1979 for Edu-Ware Services, delivering an innovative speed-reading and cognitive training program that used tachistoscopic rapid word flashing, sight vocabulary drills, and comprehension testing to help users dramatically increase their reading speed (WPM) and visual information retention.

Compu-Read is an educational program originally developed by Sherwin Steffin of Edu-Ware Services in 1979 for the Apple II. It consists of four modules training the user in rapidly increasing comprehension and retention: Character Recognition, High-speed word recognition, Synonyms; Sentence Comprehension. In each, the user the initial difficulty level, and the computer matches the display speed to the user’s performance.

Steffin first wrote Compu-Read as a text-based program while serving as a research analyst at UCLA. The first version was published by Programma International but after being laid off from the university, he revised Compu-Read and used it to launch his new company, Edu-Ware. Edu-Ware upgraded the program to high resolution graphics using its EWS3 graphics engine in 1981, renamed it Compu-Read 3.0 and ported it to the Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, and IBM PC compatibles. Compu-Read was included in Edu-Ware’s catalogs until its closure in 1985.
