Take a look at Owl & Mouse link below. Their downloads are
free. The ones I've used with students are Letter Sounds and
Bridge to Reading.

Even better, try to get software in the Reader Rabbit
series. These are excellent at providing positive feedback
in reading and math skills, entertaining, award-winning, and
calibrate difficulty level using student responses. Ask
parents through your PTA for any Reader Rabbit CDs their kids
may have outgrown. I donated several titles to teachers at
our school a few years ago. If your school serves a mostly
underprivileged group of students, don't hesitate to contact
the PTA at a neighboring school serving a higher income group
of students.
