Assisted Literacy Software is great for students with Dyslexia, ELL students, or any student that is having trouble reading on their level. It is a computer system that teaches the foundation skills for reading.
Reading Horizons is a program that uses a multi-sensory delivery approach. They train the teachers as well as the students. It adapts to whole class, small group and individual settings. " Instruction should start with the most basic concepts then sequentially build to larger, comprehensive concepts that help develop meta-cognitive awareness of the language, thus illuminating text."(Readinghorizons.com, 2013)

Watch the video to see how the program works: http://athome.readinghorizons.com/multimedia/method-overview.aspx . I didn't know that there this many rules to why different words sound a certain way. I might have learned it when I was in first grade but I didn't keep the information in my head.
I honestly was amazed with this program.
