Target: HS remedial reading/language arts software

[Jill Hofmockel <jhofmockel@CCS.K12.IA.US>]

Good morning,

I've been asked to investigate possible software packages to help with =
remediation for kids in 10th through 12th grades who need extra help with =
reading comprehension and language arts skills (grammar, punctuation, =
etc.).

At this point we are not looking for huge all-encompassing software, but =
rather inexpensive drill and practice type stuff to go along with other =
remediation services we are planning.  The hairy part seems to be finding =
software that is not too juvenile in its approach.=20

I have checked the archives and seem to be hung up on the age-appropriate =
aspect.=20

These kids generally start at the 4th or 5th grade reading level, but are =
high schoolers, so we're trying not to embarrass them with childish =
interfaces.=20

Any software suggestions, particularly ones with contact information, =
would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Jill
