One example of Assisted Literacy Software is the Computer Assisted Literacy Solution (CALS). Students are identified by their teachers as having reading difficulties or challenges and then CALS helps students develop phonemic awareness, decoding and comprehension skills, as well as reading fluency. These skills are developed from students using the computer program.
I was having trouble embedding the video to this post, but if you click the link below you will see an introduction to CALS and case studies about a few students who have been using CALS to improve their reading skills. The great thing about CALS is that it allows students to work at their own rate and they have short-term goals that they work towards which keeps them motivated to continue working and improving.
