How do you use this reading approach?
This is a pretty self-explanatory method -- most books can be put on tape at a reasonable rate. Many consider this cheating, but books on tape are a great tool. While these are commonly used for older students, there is no reason not to use them in conjunction with re-mediation with a struggling younger reader. Books on tape allow younger students to not only work on the mechanics of reading, but also to engage with writing that is at their intellectual level, not just their reading level. To put a book on tape, contact either Books on Tape or Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic.
