Well, have I got a deal for you!    :^)

STRETCH is a state of the art software application, designed to teach and
improve sight reading well beyond singly flashed words. It allows vocabulary
restriction for ESL students and phonic readers who are ready to begin sight
reading, as well as catering to the needs of intermediate and advanced
readers.

As to the dialect of English? I am glad you asked, because STRETCH has
thirty-five public domain texts written in a variety of different styles and
dialects of English. If you cannot find what you seek in the extensive
database, you can always import your own text files.

I am sure that you will like what you see...
