Assisted Literacy Software


Assisted literacy software is software that helps student develop their literacy skills. Assisted literacy software is great for students with reading disabilities, such as dyslexia. One example that I found is the Computer Assisted Literacy Solution (CALS). CALS helps students develop phonemic awareness, decoding and comprehension skills, as well as reading fluency. Students are identified by their teachers as having reading difficulties or challenges. The students then use computer programs to develop their reading skills.

Below is a video introduction of CALS, as well as case studies about several students who have been using CALS to develop their reading abilities. CALS has helped so many students achieve greatness because students work at their own rate and they have short-term goals that they work toward to keep them motivated and successful.
