Benifiting children with reading

I have a child that is a slow reader, who has a hard time understanding words and their pronunciation. While my child is advance in other areas of academia, he is 2 grade levels below in his age in reading.

I feel the kindle would be a great device to accelerate my son's reading. With tools like Text-to-Speech(TTS), a built in dictionary, searches and wiki. This device can improve my sons reading ability. I have had some success using Mircrosoft's LIT reader but sitting and reading in a computer is difficult for anybody.

I suppose my son is a reason why I am such a proponent of TTS, and making it accessible to all.

As a parent an a eInk enthusiast I would be monitoring his progress and reporting his success to the community and to publishers as well.


Thank you
