Who Profits from Sunshine Readers?

1. Unmotivated students: Those who have failed and who would deeply like to avoid that experience again. Those who do not wish to fail even once, since failure is a chink in the armor, an exposure of inferiority, a confirmation of fears already felt
2. Students who are not native English speakers. In the education trade they are known as English Language Learners (ELL) or English-as-a-second-language students (ESL), particularly those students who would prefer a program where the language instruction allows for repetitive presentations under the control of the student
3. Dyslexic students ? students whose efforts at learning have been frustrated by disabilities in spite of repeated good-faith efforts with the usual interventions
4. Students with learning disabilities or learning difficulties in specific areas of function such as auditory information processing or visual information processing
5. Students with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD)
6. The group of students who have undefined learning difficulties, but who clearly require remedial intervention to raise their reading scores to an acceptable level
7. Autistic and Pervasive Developmental Disorder students who would be more likely to profit from machine patience, as in computer aided instruction, than human efforts
