TARGET: Technology and reading

[Mary Alice Anderson <maryalicea@MAC.COM>]

 Hi,

I am looking for ideas about ways imedia specialists use EVERYDAY technology tools 
to help with reading.

Here are examples---can you add to the list?

1 typing text into using Microsoft Word to get a readability level
2. making good use of the reading level/interest level fields in an online catalog
3. scanning text with  OCR software and putting it into word
4. using web sites that provide reading level information.    What sites do you 
use? What can you recommend?
5. Any other ideas that  you can think of?

I'm NOT looking for anything dealing with AR, Reading Counts or the major 
assessment tools that come with reading series textbooks.

Thank  you.

Mary Alice
