Recorded Books has a series called Smart Readers. They are adult
interest books recorded at two-speed. It would help with fluency
practice. Included are packets with comprehension questions.
One on one tutoring by a Proliteracy tutor in your area  would be
helpful. This person needs more than DVD's, workbooks, etc.

I'm looking for assistance for a 23 year old mom with an LD.  She is an
avid reader, but tests very low (2nd or 3rd grade) in reading and
writing levels.  She would like to pursue her degree at a local college.

Can anyone recommend workbooks, books, DVD's, etc. that she could use to
prepare herself at home?  She's bright, motivated, works hard and is
uncomfortable about re-entering school.
