Suitability

This software is suitable for primary and secondary school students who are experiencing reading difficulties, including those who are dyslexic or have ADD. It is also suitable for adult learners and 'English as a Second Language' students.

Overview

Reading Freedom is a comprehensive, fully integrated phonics program that is carefully structured to teach students the skills they need to become effective readers. It is especially useful for students with reading difficulties, and is intended for use in the middle primary years, secondarsy schools, with adult learners and for students learning English as a second language.

The strength of Reading Freedom is in its modern phonics-based approach and its fundamental principles of structured instruction, and positive reinforcement through the demonstrated mastery of basic reading skills.

The interactive exercises, voiceover support, motivational activities and reinforcement through positive feedback combine to help students gradually develop their skills so they can read these words with accuracy and fluency. The programs are fully interactive, and students are able to listen to individual words and sounds that are new to them while enjoying the colourful graphics.

Parents and teachers are able to view and print student results, as well as problem words recorded by the programs for each student. Pass rates can also be changed to meet teaching needs.

Printable certificates are awarded for successful completion of each unit of work.

When students have completed the Reading Freedom series they will have mastered the skills needed for independent reading.
