From the supplier: The Principles of the Alphabet Literacy System (PALS) is a 20-week program that focuses on reading and writing. Students working in pairs interact with the program on an IBM InfoWindow station to master phonetic spelling. The PALS lab resembles an office more than a classroom, underscoring the marketability of basic reading and writing skills. Student participation is crucial, and the high-tech equipment often sparks a student's initial interest in the program. Students have a high degree of autonomy and proceed at their own pace, managing their own work and keeping track of their progress.
