We are getting ready to go back into the Yonkers high schools for the second cycle of the research.  This time I will be conducting single-subject/small-group studies with groups of special education students who have Spanish as their first language.  The next hypertext document is on "Biology: Investigating the Cycles of Life" which will have English and English -to -Spanish text supports, and visuals, including photos and diagrams.  Additonally, the students will be able to use a text-to-screen reader, Read Write Gold if they want to.  We hope to be in the schools within the next few weeks.
