[senco-forum] Successmaker

I have had the experience of using Successmaker, but found it a little

I use the Foundation Lexia programme. Since they have revamped it, the 
pictures and activities are more child friendly. I find the one for 
older children still a bit dry so I did not buy it.   It is expensive 
but I use it on a stand alone for a small number of children so it is 
viable. On the plus side, I can set the levels  for each activity for 
individual children.  I set the plan and then I have a TA who 
supervises a few times a week. It is perfect for my ''beginners' and I 
use it for children in years 3 and 4 who need lots of reinforcement and 
they enjoy it,
Hope this helps.
