It seems that there's a set that are really aimed at 'phonological awareness ' in a broad sense, with the primary aim of supporting READING (and using sound-letter links as the main visual tool) for dyslexics, while others are more aimed at listening and systematic speech sound discrimination- for children with really severe auditory processing difficulties as part of a whole package of learning and speech, language and communication difficulties, where improved language comprehension - and perhaps expressive language? (rather than reading) is the primary aim, and picture and sounds are the main visual tool rather than letters and words. >> >>Does that make sense as a 'quest'? Maybe its impossible as they the software all overlaps >> >>I had tentatively assigned Lexion to the first category, rather than the second - is that wrong ? >> >>but they all muddy the water somewhat with the over the top advertising apparently claiming that they all address all areas of language ....certainly some cover a very broad range (too broad to be useful in every area of the range?) >> >>And as they are all EXPENSIVE, it's not possible to buy them all and sit down and compare them on the spot, as it were!
