reading programs for slower readers

[Jim Benjamin <jbenjami@REMC7.K12.MI.US>]

Good Morning!  Based on the helpful responses I received about keyboarding
last week, I thought I would try it again.

We are looking for a program...software/CD-Rom...which would be directed
toward middle school-high school students who are
slower readers.  Often these students do not qualify for specific help
programs in reading, and fall through the cracks.
We(parents and staff) want to look at some program that could be available
to these students on school computers or to check out for home use.  It
would need to be something that would be of enough interest to draw these
students to want to work with the program on their own.  I look at it like
the typing tutorial we use through our media center. Our middle school
students use that one all the time to help improve their typing skills.
Why not something to improve reading skills?

Do any of you have ideas or suggestions on programs or
software?
