Dr. Alba,

This does not directly respond to your question, but I thought this  
information might be of interest to you.  I am the author of a  
remedial reading/phonics program called We All Can Read.  The Georgia  
Department of Corrections uses our program at 13 prisons throughout  
the state. The program is also used in several Federal prisons as  
well.  We publish our program on VHS video, VD CD, and now our  
program is published online as well.   All 624 lessons from our core  
book are available in our online edition where we combine video,  
audio, and text; students are able to work at a computer and proceed  
independently through the entire program.  The We All Can Read online  
edition is developed so that it may be used with no prior training by  
students, teachers, and tutors.
The first 28 online lessons from a total of 624 online lessons are  
available to view and hear at no cost or obligation at http:// 
www.weallcanread.com. References, price information, and a great deal  
of additional information are also available on our web site.  Please  
let me know if I can provide you with additional information, and I  
thank you for your time.
