Primary School Principal

The Gilead Success with Reading Program, Part 1 is the type of resource teachers have been dying to lay hold of. With a background in Special Education Jeanne Wherrett has spent many years developing this software package and the results are most impressive.

The program caters for children with a wide range of abilities, laying core foundational skills necessary for a successful start in reading. A multi-sensory approach is adopted, with a content focus on phonics, spelling and common sight words, together with writing. The DVD contains a variety of onscreen activities, which are clear and easy to follow, accompanied by illustrations, photos and video clips, accompanied by sound. Navigation within the program is user-friendly, whilst activities encourage exploration. Motivation is intrinsic; success assured.

Pdf files include a superb 96p software based manual, information for teachers and parents, a diagnostic test, record sheets, books, games and much more – all of high quality. Having these printable is a bonus, especially when something ‘goes missing’. Availability is in single copies, with the option for site licences. An absolute bargain for the price.
