[Nancy Coffman]

I have not tried it but JAWS tandum and Perkey Duck from DuxburySystems might be a possible solution. The program is free and does not translate.

Then as you’re teaching them to read and write you can correct the mistake right away. The problem with sending a BRF is there’s a delayed response and so correcting the mistake is more difficult. As time passes between lessons and human memory has great frailties

I get the impression they are older elementary age.
