Programs were reviewed by one to three reviewers. Curriculum areas covered by the software reviews are computer literacy, ESL, language arts, life skills, mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. A section of programs for the teacher is also reviewed. The final section of the guide contains a list of the most useful programs for adult education. (KC)
