What was the name of a 1980s educational software package for the Apple ][ series that gave stories to read and asked multiple choice questions to test your knowledge?
As a child of the 80s I had the blessing of an Apple ][c computer growing up. I remember a slew of games for it, from fun to educational to bizarre, but there is one title I just cannot recall.
It was an educational title designed to help you with reading comprehension. It had several stories built in, and no more than a couple of paragraphs each. After you read the story, you were given a series of multiple choice answers to grade how well you understood it. You could even write your own stories and accompanying questions if you wanted to.
I have spent quite a bit of time querying Google and old software lists, but I can't figure out what it was. My last hope is picking the brains of those who may have used it themselves. Any ideas or even memory fragments would be greatly appreciated.

Where in the world is Carmen Santiago? I remember Apple having programs like that for the IIGS I had.
