A colleague of mine received an email today from a friend who is a teacher and just received a grant to help her school address the influx of English Language Learners. They are looking to spend the grant money on software for a computer lab that could assist English Language Learners . Do you know of any software programs that specialize in teaching English to native Spanish speakers (ideally tailored to students - not adults). Or do you know of any programs/organizations/schools who might have had utilized software to help ELLs in the past? Any resources? (FYI- this school is in Milwaukee).

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Thanks
