I researched the tool Raylit. I first wanted to look into this because I am a Kindergarten teacher and it is geared toward students 3-7 years old. It is a site so there is no downloading the program onto your computer. They suggest that students do one session (which is one hour) per day. They have some free sessions so you are able to check them out. The cost for each session after the trials are 50cents. The opening is an animal stating a general fact and then the "fun stuff" are games that incorporate matching, rhymes, letters/sounds, etc. The talking is a little computerized but not too bad. I would be excited to use this site but would have to look into the funding for each child and I would have to use the computer lab so maybe I could get there twice a week instead of everyday which they are suggesting. This would be a great tool for all students but especially those who may be struggling. They did state on their site that this is supplemental to school. I would use this as a parent resource for all my students. I think I might type something up and hand out the information at conference time. The enclosed picture above shows the first page children will see when they enter the site. It lists there activities for the day.
