Mindplay’s Virtual Reading Coach, due out in July 2012, emphasizes reading, phonics, punctuation, pronunciation, grammar, and comprehension. This product puts the Orton-Gillingham method to work to help all students learn to read. The practices are both auditory and visual and provide for differentiated instruction. There are onscreen speech pathologists and coaches who patiently help students with the lessons and show them how to pronounce words correctly. Although My Reading Coach can be used by any student, it is also excellent for those students who are learning English, students who need remedial help and those who need enrichment in reading. The program, based on the Mindplay’s popular My Reading Coach, is not Web-based, but can be used on PC and Mac computers and Android tablets.
