Educational service to build literacy skills
Dr. Karen Erickson and The Center for Literacy Studies at UNC Chapel Hill, is collaborating with Benetech and they have developed Route 66 Literacy. This is a internet based educational service designed for adolescents and adults with significant learning disabilities in the areas of reading and writing. The content is current and of high interest to adolescents and adults. Because it is online, the content can be updated to reflect current topics and new storeies. The service provides a Teacher Tutor that supports the instructor as they are working with their students. The program has built-in access features that are accessible by the most challenged learner.
