ReadMeTM is a literacy tool that can be effectively used by all teachers.
The idea for ReadMeTM evolved through years of experience, teaching English literacy classes in junior High School.
- The ReadMeTM programme provides the same stimulations and challenges students have grown to expect.
- Bringing together advanced teaching techniques and modern technology, the lessons capture students attention and concentration.
- ReadMeTM offers a comprehensive programme of 27 lessons that cover basic grammar skills, poetry analysis and text types.
- ReadMeTM suits a wide audience.
As the lesson content is drawn from subjects across the curriculum, diversity and wide appeal is guaranteed. - Students who are reluctant readers do not always engage with lessons presented in the “chalk & talk” manner; ReadMe offers an alternative.
How Does It Work?
ReadMe is platform independent and compatible with all web browsers including Internet Explorer, Chrome & Firefox on all devices, i.e. iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Smart Phone, Windows & Mac PC’s and Notebooks.
- The lessons are accompanied by 131 black line masters (the student workbook), which are fully reproducible and include an answer book.
- ReadMe presents important content in a fresh challenging fashion that is both interesting and engaging.
- By simplifying and examining the rules of grammar, poetry, language and genres, the lessons clearly explain how the English language works.
- Many of the interactive tasks are self-correcting, and are accompanied by compelling sound effects.
- Learning that is fun is learning that is retained, so some lessons conclude with a game. This enjoyable activity serves to consolidate learning.
- Now updated to include both Spanish and Chinese translations for activity instructions.
