- Detailed Program Description:
- -----------------------------
- The ability to read well is one of the most vital skills
- required for academic success. Once a child has been taught to
- read (phonetically), the best way to ensure that they become
- accomplished, life-long readers is to continually provide them
- with well-written, interesting books so that reading becomes a
- pleasurable experience. "Reading is KidsÆ Stuff" provides a
- database of over 800 popular childrenÆs books, selected
- specifically for their high moral standards and their appeal
- to children. With this software you will be able to select
- appropriate reading material for each child. Search the book
- database by Title, Author, Series Name, Type, Subject, or Awards.
- Descriptions are provided for each book, as well as the reading
- level, number of pages, and whether the book is Christian in
- content.
-
- The child can easily maintain a list of books that he/she has
- read, optionally rating and entering comments for each book.
- You may print out a list of books read by each child that
- includes the number of pages read, average pages per book,
- average reading level, points earned, and more. If you need to
- read a book in a certain amount of time, READKS can print a
- suggested daily reading schedule. You may also print a list of
- books to search for at the library, a "books to read" list, or a
- list of books that you own. In addition to all of these features,
- READKS is totally expandable. You may add or remove books from
- the database to suit your own needs and preferences.
