READING WORX

This is a complete program, no loose sheets or having to photocopy from a master book.

Teaching tips has been included due to the fact that when a student is being helped, that helper needs to know basic teaching tips.

The reason for disastrous results in the past may have been due to poor teaching methods resulting in frustration on the part of the reader.

Unfortunately due to teaching and training institutions not training their teachers properly, the student suffers as a result. So please read these tips carefully for a successful experience for both the student and the teacher / trainer / parent / helper.

The aim of easy2read2006^® is to slow down reading until 'word attack' is accurate, independent and confident.

Remember that an ounce of praise goes such a long way!

Pre assessment and post assessment

These are provided for the student and the teacher to assess just what is known and what is not known regarding the alphabet, numbers and words. If a letter of the alphabet isn't known, then the alphabet book can be used.

These assessment sheets are given both before and after the program to show what is known, what needs to be learnt and how the student has improved.
