Reading, by Terry Freedman

Lexplore helps teachers to analyse how children are reading. By so doing it purports to detect reading difficulties, indicated by things like spending too long on a word, or whether the child keeps going backwards and forwards in the text. After evaluating the child for between two and five minutes, it then gives you a score comparing the child's data to that of the national average and your school's average, making recommendations accordingly.

Sounds useful, though I'm not clear on how the program distinguishes between being unable to read or understand a word, and thinking about what has been read.
