I have been asked to share with you a software package that helps children who have speech and language problems with learning to read. The package is called widgit and can be viewed at http://www.widgit.com/index.php
Some of the resources are free but just make sure you use the ones that are in pdf format. The software can also be used to increase the resources in Clicker 5 if you are already using.
If you need some stories for children then http://www.symbolworld.org/ has free resources that can either printed out or read from a whiteboard.
I have used the free resources during a literacy lesson, and the symbols to teach a child that was having difficulty remembering certain key words.
Hope you find it of some use.
