I am also interested in finding literacy software.  In our writing lab, here at Bowie State University, we have some software packages given to us by the publishers of the textbooks we've adopted, that require no authorizations.  One is called "Writing Tutor IV" by Harcourt Brace.  It is a very comprehensive grammar package for several levels.  We also have "Grammar Workouts" from Norton.  We are trying to get Weaver upgrades  for both Reading and Writing instruction, but these are costly.
I have been considering developing a website that lists and evaluates this type of software, but I'm not sure if there's enough interest out there.  If you'd be interested in such a website, kindly let me know.
Thanks, and good luck!

I have a grant for literacy software.  MacMurray is a four-year liberal
arts college; we have no developmental classes.  We do, however, have some
students who need some foundation work in punctuation, sentence structure,
and reading comprehension.

We already have Learning Plus, but I am looking for CD-ROMs that do not
require individual user licenses.  I have found some software that seems
to fit my subject needs, but I need age-appropriateness as well.

Thanks for your help!
