Hi, my name is Brian Anderson and I work at the Madison (Wisconsin) Area Literacy Council.  Our organization has a learning lab with Rosetta Stone and *New Oxford Picture Dictionary* software that aims to boost the skills of  ESL learners.  Frequent users gain many language benefits from using computers--not to mention elementary computer skills they learn are a bonus. 

But here is my question:  Can anyone advise me on software that can help basic literacy learners?  We have a little grant money to spend on the lab and would like to find something specifically geared to help people who want to learn to read and write.  Most of our learners are at a fifth-grade reading level or lower. Any knowledge you have to share would be very welcome.  Thanks  very much.
Sincerely,
Brian Anderson, Education Director
