FREE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: SavySoftware has formed a new partner****p with
Rentacoder’s top certified expert Do***aker to develop and donate
educational software to some of the nation’s most disadvantaged schools.
The move comes after learning the Third International Mathematics and
Science Study (TIMSS) gave third world countries a higher literacy rate
than that found in the U.S. It also comes after learning
Schwarzenegger’s threat to cut California’s education budget.
As a result, Randy’s Reading Program (below), is released as a full,
free literacy course for grades K - 3. It features professional graphics,
voiceovers, hands-off video tutorials, and a rich vocabulary full of both
short and long vowels, blends, ends, silent letters, multi-syllable words,
unique spelling patterns and more.
