Educators' Reviews
Sheryn Comrie
Director SPELD Teacher Training
New Zealand
"People who struggle to read the written word get a buzz, even more than competent readers, when they can get information from text.
NEWSprint offers them an achievable means by bringing current, topical issues in reader-friendly print. Factual, real-life issues appeal greatly to those people, of all ages and backgrounds, who struggle with reading and yet want to gain more mileage in a meaningful context.
NEWSprint provides such a medium as it can be accessed through the text and general awareness of society's issues with the support of the pronunciation key.
For those of us working to empower these readers the option of such text as in NEWSprint provides pertinent, current bite-sized chunks that lead to success and generate the desire to read more. The accompanying questions and quizzes are an added bonus."
Tony Taylor
Lecturer in Language and Education
Auckland College of Education
"....an excellent reading resource for males, especially, who have difficulty with reading....older children and young people in remedial reading programmes would find this resource interesting and beneficial, and so would many pupils in mainstream classes."
Jill Crispin
Advisor to the Tertiary Education Commission
"NEWSprint would be an excellent resource for adult learners with literacy needs. Teachers and tutors could use this resource in a variety of ways according to the needs of the learners..... gives adult learners with literacy needs access to current events, an introduction to newspapers and the web. Great!"
Maureen Rusk
Adult Literacy Specialist
Regent Training Centre
"As a one-on-one literacy tutor at a large private training establishment.... NEWSprint will provide me with fresh reading material each week. It is hard to find suitable reading material for adults with low literacy levels but NEWSprint has come up with......all the right combinations: short articles of interest to adults, easy enough words and a wide variety of topics covering issues from all around the world. Presented in newspaper column format, it will appeal far more than a full page of text....will encourage reading of newspapers, magazines and research from the website links..... able to photocopy as many copies as I want.... excellent idea..." Kay Maunder
Ex-school principal,
Manager, Focus Learning Centre
"Articles create immediate interest....high interest.....but pitched at a level that younger children can handle.... Excellent for oral aspects for younger readers and for discussion generally."
