Along with her email, she stated that she also needs help finding good ESL and GED software, so if anyone can help with that, she would appreciate it. Can anyone make any recommendations? Here is her email in response to the query: Daphne, I am a computer teacher in an adult literacy program in Bridgeport, CT. I teach women who have low literacy skills and I have previously taught women who were in welfare to work programs. This is what I have found useful over the years. There are two typing programs I have used-Type to Learn by Sunburst and Mavis Beacon. Type to Learn is for low readers and Mavis is a little harder. It teaches them the alphabet, the keyboard, the mouse and some basic skills. These are some software programs that I have used: The Alphabet by Proteatextware.com which is very simple. The New Oxford Picture Dictionary (NOPD) by Oxford English software The Rosetta Stone by RosettaStone.com. Strategies for Older Students (SOS) by Lexia Learning PC100 basic skils by teknimedia.com Omti-Rogers based on Orton-Gillingham These are varying degrees of difficulty depending on your class. They are are useful, user friendly and liked by my students. If I can help you in any other way, please let me know. Presently, I am looking for some good ESL and GED software so if I find any other info, I will pass it on to you. Good luck Mary Lou Sewell
