Demo Released of Mac-Only Reading Software
Inspired Logic has released a demo of C.D. Caterpillar, their educational reading software for the Mac. According to Inspired Logic:

"C.D. Caterpillar is a Macintosh only program designed to help beginning readers strengthen their reading skills quickly, in a fun and non-threatening way. Every aspect of C.D. Caterpillar is designed to focus the student on actual reading.

C.D. Caterpillar includes a large quantity of reading material. The first version includes The Wizard of Oz, Fables by Aesop, and other short stories. This version is available for a limited time. The next version which features The Princess and the Goblin will be released in early March. The material is presented in such a way that any motivated reader can get started with it. The controls are simple, and everything is explained verbally; no initial reading ability is assumed.

Any level reader can get started with C.D. Caterpillar. Immediate, direct assistance is always available just by clicking on the problem word. The problem word will be pronounced, and C.D. Caterpillar keeps track of the problem words, reinforcing them later in highly focused games."

A single Home Version of C.D. Caterpillar is priced at $16.00. The demo can be downloaded from Inspired Logic's web site.
