Read&Write “worth its weight in gold” -enabling independent reading & writing at Belgrave High

PRLog (Pres best rc helicopter buy sell market place s Release)– Jun 02, 2011– Sue Bradley, SENCo at Belgrave High School Staffordshire, has found their investment in Texthelp's leading literacy support software, Read&Write GOLD, has proven to be "worth its weight in gold", as it has helped all pupils achieve independence in their reading and writing.  

Sue explains "In November 2009 Belgrave High School became the first High School in Tamworth and, at the time, the seventh in the whole of Staffordshire to achieve Full Status as a Dyslexia Friendly School.  Many strategies were implemented to help our dyslexic students as well as training for staff and workshops for parents and governors.  One of the resources we decided to invest in was Read&Write GOLD.

The software has enabled, not just our dyslexic students, but those across the whole school to become more independent in both their reading and writing.  Being able to listen back to what they have written (through the text-to-speech functionality) and to choose the correct word (because the meaning is explained to them) has opened up a whole new experience to students.  Teachers have noticed they now want to write and get a real sense of achievement from their work.

Similarly with their reading; no longer are the students held back because they can't read a resource sheet.  

We are also considering using Read&Write GOLD software in exams, enabling those students who are allowed he remote control helicopter lp with reading, to have it instantly and as often as needed.

Belgrave High School can thoroughly recommend not only Read&Write GOLD software but also the excellent help and advice we have received from the team at Texthelp whenever it was required."

Read&Write GOLD for Schools is Texthelp's world leading literacy support software designed to assist pupils with dyslexia, literacy difficulties and English as a Second Language.  The software provides pupils with a unique set of tools to assist them with learning in the 1086274749  classroom and at home.  The software helps pupils to improve their reading skills, to enhance the accuracy of their writing and to organise research for school projects.
