Target: Reading Program and Junior Statesman

["Karen L. Weaver" <theweave1@JUNO.COM>]

I have 2 people on my campus who are in need of information.  I know you
all can help.

1)Our high school reading teacher is expecting a much larger enrollment
in his classes next fall (more than his current 6-10 kids, maybe 25 per
section) and is interested in a computer program for reading.  He wants
something interactive, more than reading a book first and then answering
questions.  We are NOT interested in AR.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Anything you have in place would be somewhere to start.

2)  A guidance counselor brought me a brochure for a summer school
program called "Junior Statesman."  It's out of San Mateo and advertises
summer programs at Yale, Harvard, etc., and it's quite pricy.  A parent
is interested but wants to know if this is legit and/or valuable.  Has
anyone heard of this?

TIA for your help.
