Learning to read and spell has never been easier
Teachers, Parents, Students of all ages: this is for you!
Now everyone with access to a computer can learn to read. Units of Sound is a proven tool for teaching hard–to–reach students in schools, colleges and community centres. Its sister programme Units of Sound: Literacy that fits allows you to use this excellent resource at home. At last parents can ‘do’ something to help their children who need a boost with their literacy.
Partnership for Literacy uses Units of Sound
A report, released by Dyslexia Action on 3rd February 2009, details the success of the national charity’s Partnership for Literacy (P4L) programme, which is designed to identify and support children at risk of reading failure.
The P4L model includes an apprentice-training phase for two school terms, followed by a term of consultancy. Staff are given awareness training on dyslexia and other literacy difficulties, followed by screening and Active Literacy Kit and Units of Sound training. Parents are offered training with the DIY Parents Pack, and encouraged to be involved.
P4L has been predominantly funded by independent donations but ten of the partnerships, beginning in January and September 2008, are being supported through Government funding.
