Nezzie, Speed Reader II the last time I looked is published by Davidson Software. The cost is variable depending on from whom you buy it. Try MacConnection, MacWarehouse, etc.; the large mailorder houses you find in _MacUser_. Make sure when you order it you tell them what machine you intend to run it on. I purchased it in 1990 and found it would not run on Mac SE30s. When I used it several years ago on an Apple IIe, I had similar reactions to Jim Bell with my students. I would recommend having the students practice at home on a novel of their choice outside the computer. It will help the transfer. Good luck, Dave Caverly
