  I'm looking for assistance for a 23 year old mom with an LD.  She is an avid reader, but tests very low (2nd or 3rd grade) in reading and writing levels.  She would like to pursue her degree at a local college.  

  Can anyone recommend workbooks, books, DVD's, etc. that she could use to prepare herself at home?  She's bright, motivated, works hard and is uncomfortable about re-entering school.
