Reading program for special education students

[Unregistered]

I teach special education in New York and my friend told me about this sight words software program called Sight Words with Samson. It helps students master basic sight words (ie. the, and, come) in a fun way. There are different games that the kids can play. My students have really enjoyed it so far.

You have to pay for it, but it is definitely worth it. It costs $50 for an entire class (up to 30 kids). The software is on a website so each one of my students can access the product from home as well as in the classroom.

The website is http://www.sightwordswithsamson.com

There is a actual program that you can teach that does sight words and comprehenision together. It is called Edmark - it is a research-based program with several levels. We use it with all students in my room. There is a program for students who are very low - non-verbal/pre-reading. It works with matching picture and letters. Then is works up. Students learn words, endings, directional words, demonstrate knowledge of words, retell a story, and much more.
