Hello,

I am trying to build a library of software (including CDROM products) to
support self-directed, basic skills development. By "basic skills", I am
referring to the basic academic skills required to function at about a
junior-high school level. The software I am looking for is geared primarily
for an adult audience: although a "fun" approach is OK, anything that looks
childish or too "hip" (in a teenage sort of way) would not be
well-tolerated.

So far, I have located software or software/workbook combinations for Math,
Computing Skills and English-as-a-Second-Language. I am still looking for
software to support & develop Spelling, Punctuation and the other basic
mechanics of writing. Can anyone out there recommend something in this skill
area?

Thanks, in advance-
Gina Bennett
