Hello Nick,
Yes. Cloudworld has recently extended their WordAloud assistive reader
to increase support for the teaching of basic reading skills, and have
added phonics material that the teacher can use "out of the box". The
phonics is based on Top Marks, a well-established phonics method
developed here in the UK. The new product was launched at BETT 2003,
the premier annual event for educational technology. It is currently
being used in the phonics-based teaching for children and young adults
with dyslexia or other reading difficulties. It can be used to take
people all the way from character recognition through to reading at
speed.
I can send you a full-function evaluation copy, available at the show.
To see how the product can be used, read the "How to use" page, linked
from the Cloudworld web site:

Best regards,
John
