Larry Ferlazzo's list includes great options for reading along with both audio and text.

Elllo - English

http://www.elllo.org/ is a great site for practicing listening, and there are numerous study sheets and quizzes for many of the lessons.

Read Alouds

Members of the Screen Actors Guild read favorite children's books -- read along and view the text and pictures:

GED study

http://ged.free-ed.net/free-ed/ged/

Completely free for self-study, but a student should be reading at the ninth-grade level to succeed in this program. For pre-GED, work with an individual tutor or in Adult Ed classes is probably in order. Take a look to see if this is for you. If you would like to discuss it with me or work on it at the library, give me a call or come to my office.

Learning Edge

http://www.thewclc.ca/edge/ Great site for computer, internet and reading practice.

Live Mocha for Language Learning

For the time being, at least, this site is free and offers practice--with interactions with tutors and native speakers -- for learning several languages. It is currently in beta and definitely worth a look.
