[quote=Anonymous]Co-Writer is more appropriate than Kurzweil at this time.  It is not as expensive.  Our DC uses both.  Started Co-Writer in 2nd grade and started Kurzweil in 7th grade.  Both are provided by the school.  A decent graphic organizer worked well in the 2nd-5th grade.  They are easily found for free on the internet and you can take your pick of which one works best for your DC- changing to a more complex one as she ages.  Natural Readers was good for an inexpensive text to speech program, but at some point it ceased working on DC's computer.  Sometimes you get software build up on your computer and they do not play well together.  Kurzweil does not play well but it is so good, we put up with it (again DC is in HS).

The cost of Kurzweil ($1400) is much cheaper than private school and, for us, about a third of our annual tutoring costs from 2nd through 7th grade( which was also cheaper than private school).   When DC graduates from HS and needs it for college, we will be paying for it ourselves and have built it into our expected college costs.
