How does i-read allow for different learning strategies?
A unique feature of the programme is that it is based upon the explicit recognition of childrens differing preferred learning styles. For example: • on-screen annotation of texts, which appeals to kinaesthetic and visual learners; • the use of voice-overs, music and sound effects to draw in aural learners; • high-quality video clips, animations, photographs and artwork for visual learners; • the explicit teacher modelling of strategies in shared reading to support both visual and aural learners; • high-quality texts, written for the specific target age group, to motivate interpersonal and intrapersonal learners, who are sensitive to nuances of text and cognitive demand; • the strategy-led, cognitive approach developed through the teacher resources, to interest logical learners, who like to reason and solve problems.
