I selected an assistive technology software program, Thinking Reader. This program is geared for grades 5-8. Working with older students, when they do not have grade level reading skills it makes it very difficult to get their comprehension skills up to grade level as well. This software is designed specifically for reading comprehension. What I really like about it is that it has classic novels to choose from, novels that we already read in my 6th grade class (i.e. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, Bridge to Terabithia, Esperanza Rising, and more).
A few neat features include:
-Vocabulary definitions and pictures to go along.
-Levels of differentiation for the teacher to control.
-Spanish translations
