Learn to Read George Canine is a unique literacy app. Developed by a highly experienced, respected PhD specialist in children’s literacy and education, this award-winning app is based on the latest scientific evidence for literacy skills instruction:
- The content and delivery method closely aligns with the most recent New South Wales Department of Education guidelines for an early reading programme.
- The lessons are carefully sequenced so that students build up their literacy skills step by step.
- The lessons are highly interactive, engaging and motivating. Students practice the content by playing a variety of games.
- Students learn through sight, sound and touch. They trace the alphabet letters to reinforce their knowledge.
- From the very first lesson onwards, students are shown how their newly learned phonics skills can be used to read, spell and write letters and words.
- Positive and constructive feedback is provided for every response.
- With the animated dog, George Canine (reading teacher), at the helm, the instruction and interactive practice games are woven into imaginative, familiar stories with which students can identify. This strategy enables students to connect their reading experiences with real-life experiences.
- The app is designed for independent use and for teacher-led sessions. Teachers can use the app for whole classes instruction, or for small groups.
- The app is appropriate for students that require literacy extension, and for students that have not acquired literacy skills at the expected level.
