savevid.com
I have used "savevid" and it is worth using. Just be careful because sometimes they put a "HUGE" download button on the screen which will put a virus on your computer. It's a virus that's hard to get rid of too! Just make sure the green button is the normal sized button and you are careful to use the embedded area only. The huge button was deceiving and I learned the hard way.

It is an interactive, carefully leveled, reading program. There are several components: One, the children can follow along as a text is highlighted and read aloud to them, Two, The children can read the text with moderate support (they can click on words that they may not know, which are underlined). Three, They can take an assessment. They are not allowed to move to the next level until they demonstrate mastery (at the lower levels for example they need to get 4 out 5 questions correct) Four, there is a game component as they demonstrate mastery of the material, they can go to the Raz-Rocket site. The children like the program. It is difficult to find leveled material as good as this for the very youngest readers. There is a variety of fiction and non -fiction pieces
The company Learning A-Z.com provides a lot of teacher support. My students who have embraced this program especially those who have logged on at home have made great progress. I have noticed however that no matter how good a program is a living, breathing, teacher must be closely monitoring the children in order for the most progress to be made. One of the limitations of this program is that in reading the literature it does not provide for the students to demonstrate the higher order thinking skills that a discussion with classmates and the teacher can provide.
Big Huge Labs - Here you might want to try the motivational poster, badge maker, magazine cover, movie poster, Jigsaw, or trading cards.
