Hello Cesar,
If the person you describe is truly a nonreader, or having trouble
with decoding and encoding, this will be tough to do entirely on her
own. Would she be interested in a tutor?
There are computer programs that may assist her, but these are
designed to be used with a tutor or teacher
• Language Tuneup kit
• Reading with Phonics
• Lexia Reading SOS
• Learning 100 (Steck Vaughn)
• Reading Horizons
• Academy of Reading
• My reading Coach
Descriptions of most of these will be found on my software list (soon
to be updated) at http://newsomeassociates.com/ (Select Publications,
then Adult Literacy Education Software Recommendations.)
