Reading Horizons v5
© 2010 Reading Horizons
Designed for older readers (adolescent or adult)who read below grade level, this Windows or Mac-based software is designed to let you work at your own pace as you "build key foundational skills, and then progress to more difficult reading skills." According to press materials, once you have completed 40-60 hours of instruction, the average learner will have improved their reading by four grade levels. New to this version: 225 reading passages in 15 genres, from sports to technology. Additional content includes 81 lessons, and a Pronunciation Proficiency tool that presents live footage of a mouth pronouncing each sound as well as animated tongue placements for English Language Learners (ELL).
