I am the Education Specialist at the YWCA in Birmingham. The Family Literacy Coordinator and I are in the process of establishing family literacy, job skills, and life skills classes for our residents and other women in shelters and transitional housing in the Birmingham area. We are ready to purchase software that will help assess each participant's skills and progress as she enters the program, continues to attend classes, and leaves the program. I know of some titles, such as CASAS and TABE, but I don't know where to find them or how to order them (or if these are the best options). We would also like a variety of software participants could use independently to develop reading, writing, grammar, math, typing, and computer skills. Again, I've heard of Mavis Beacon, and have a whole resource file on various software for sale, but I would love some direction from some experienced providers, and a catalog or a company or a particular place on the web to look for appropriate, stimulating, effective materials. Thank you so much for your help! Jennifer H. Scofield YWCA Birmingham 309 North 23rd Street Birmingham, AL 35203 (205) 322.9922, x.172 JHScofield@AOL.com
