New name and tagline align with commitment to using technology 
innovation to serve all learners and educators.

DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kurzweil Educational Systems(R) , 
a division of Cambium Learning(R) Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ABCD), announced 
today that it will rebrand itself to reflect its continuing investment 
in state of the art innovative literacy software for all students. As 
Kurzweil Education(TM), the company will not only provide assistive 
technology solutions, but support all learners in their journey to gain 
academic success. The rebranding includes a new name, tagline, logo, and 
a tighter product portfolio through the recent divestment of the 
IntelliTools product line. The new company name combined with the new 
tagline, "Unlocking Potential," is indicative of Kurzweil Education's 
forward-thinking to help open the doors to learning, build students' 
confidence, and boost academic achievement using technology-based tools.
"Our mission has always been to provide tools and resources that allow 
all learners to engage actively in authentic learning experiences in the 
ways that work best for them," said John Campbell, CEO of Cambium 
Learning Group. "We continually hear from educators, students, and 
parents about the life-altering experience our products provide. This 
name change reflects our philosophy that anyone can succeed, whether 
they're a student in primary, secondary, or postsecondary studies, or an 
adult in the workplace. Our tools enable real learning to happen and 
help unlock each learner's unique potential."
Kurzweil Education's flagship product, Kurzweil 3000(R) -firefly(R) , is 
an award-winning reading, writing, and study skills software that 
enables struggling students, including those with learning differences 
such as dyslexia and English language learners, to read, understand, and 
demonstrate their knowledge. Kurzweil 3000-firefly helps learners meet 
rigorous standards and transforms struggle into success. Anchored in the 
principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Kurzweil 3000-firefly 
is an easy, proven solution that ensures instruction and learning become 
personal--and meaningful progress becomes possible.
Kurzweil 1000(TM) , the company's product for the blind or visually 
impaired, is award-winning software that provides accessibility to print 
or electronic text. The software incorporates text-to-speech technology 
combined with communication and productivity tools to ease and enhance 
the reading, writing, and learning experience. Online books, magazines, 
dictionaries, and encyclopedias become available to empower all readers 
to pursue their interests.
