You can purchase subject areas and levels separately. Their website is http://www.amered.com. COREL Read has a double vowel in lesson 2, so I didn't pursue it, but it does have a fun mystery-game factor. At a conference last weekend, I found out about a website and contacts that may be helpful regarding assistive technology: http://www.ataccess.org/MemberDirectory/default.html Annette Boken Partners in Reading -----Original Message----- From: Boken, Annette [mailto:annette.boken@ci.sj.ca.us] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2000 3:52 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:788] A+dvanced Learning System and Corel READ Dear Readers: I have just received a demo copy of A+dvanced Learning System and will soon be receiving one of Corel READ. As I evaluate, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has experience with this software they would like to share with me. ALS looks very sequential, and it's nice not to have to purchase the whole entire package, but to have the option of purchasing the subject area and levels that you want. If you reply to me, I will post a summary of the responses I receive, in order to avoid many "me too" responses on the listserv. Thank you! Annette Boken Partners in Reading San Jose Public Library
