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.
