Starfall is a website that was designed as a free public service to teach children how to read with phonics. They have beginning lessons in reading, including introducing letter sounds and gradually progressing to reading simple sentences in a story. The graphics are mostly intended for children, but I have had great success with some of my older non-readers who find it funny and interesting. You will probably want to first gauge the sensitivity of your student before you put them on, but it can be a more interesting alternative to Reading Horizons. There are also interactive games, as well.
