Description

Have you ever reached the end of a page and realised you don’t remember any of it? You are not alone. Understanding a text is a skill — and skills can be learnt. Good readers use strategies without noticing: they preview, ask questions, picture the scene, check when they are lost and sum up.

In this course you will learn those strategies one by one, build your vocabulary, and use tools such as text-to-speech so that slow reading never stops you from learning.

This course supports learning; it does not diagnose. If a difficulty continues despite good teaching and practice, talk to the school and a qualified specialist (educational psychologist, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist or doctor). Free for every family and school.

Prerequisites: None.
