My daughter has been using Rocket Reader for several months.
She is an eighth grader and her reading went from 150 wpm to about

How it works
Your school subscribes for a multi-user account on an annual basis. Each student account counts as one account. If a student leaves, you can delete that student's account and set up a new account for another student to use. If your requirements change over time and you require additional accounts, you can purchase additional student accounts.
My students have doubled and in some cases tripled their reading speed. I love the product!
