Reading Again offers the following advantages:
• Choice and flexibility
The material can be used for working on a variety of skills: silent
reading, reading aloud, speech and language, writing and memory
skills. A range of topics is provided with 3 levels of activity
on each one.
• Relevance
The topics covered have immediate application for reading skills
required in everyday situations.
• Autonomy
Many clients will be able to use the material independently giving
them control over their therapy. They will be able to determine
when they work, for how long and on which skills. These choices
may lead to improved feelings of self-esteem.
• Accessibility
The programme is easy to use with a basic tape recorder.
• Support
Guidance and encouragement are given throughout.
• Motivation
Carefully graded tasks on familiar material give the experience
of success and thereby increase confidence and motivation.
• Cost-effectiveness
1) Clients.
Special low prices are offered to individuals with dyslexia/aphasia.
There is over 3 hours playing time per set and many clients will
wish to play the tapes many times.
2) Speech and language therapists.
With 6 work tapes and booklets in each set, therapists can provide
clients with many hours of carefully structured work to do at home,
enabling good use to be made of limited financial and time resources.
