Let's just hope the NCLB will be reauthorized and no one will be looking for drill and kill software solutions. IMO, scripted software is not the answer and may take away what little time students have with the computers in their buildings.

Our school uses SuccessMaker which is computer based and Failure-Free Reading which is computer and paper based. We have had success with both.

The research on computer-based reading literacy systems is pretty dismal. People keep hoping for the magic bullet that will solve AYP issues, but it just isn't out there. I know it's a tough argument to make in a world where computers seem to magically solve all problems, but you can't just strap a "learning system" onto the classroom wall like an ATM and expect the learning to come out when you push the buttons.<br />

A rich, varied classroom library, creating a culture of reading, and time to read is the best choice.<br />

We have used Fast Forward on our campus a while back. Still have the CD's that came with the program. I found that it wasn't very successful with our students. One of the difficult things was fitting in the schedule of exposure that the students were to have according to the program. We did it for one year and then abandoned it. Don't know if this helps but thought i would give you my 2 cents.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. We are actually looking more for a reading program that will help students increase their phonological awareness and increase English Language Learners for AYP. The programs we are looking at are possibly Fast Forword, Waterford Reading, and Autoskills Academy of Reading
