Today there are literally thousands of different software titles on
the market that are geared towards improving reading scores. Hypermedia-based children's literature programs, sometimes called "talking storybooks," are one of the most popular types of software today. These programs read stories aloud to students in realistic digitized speech, colorful graphics accompany the text, and students often can interact with both text and graphics. Examples are the programs in series such as Living Books, Disney's Animated Storybooks, Reader Rabbit's Reading Development Library, Discis Books, Magic Tales, and WiggleWorks.
