NOW READ THIS: easy reading

Testimonials

"What I like about it is the 'self help' interactive way one can sit down for half an hour in a spare moment and go through some of the lessons in a repetitive way to reinforce stuff already approached."

"... my student fully appreciates the importance of learning all the sounds."

"... my opinion is one of excellence and my student feels the same way as he sits down regularly every morning to work through the initial stages."

"... at the age of 65 ... he never had the fundamentals taught and so realises that he has to start at the beginning to understand and pronounce the unfamiliar words."

from Jon and Carmel

Hi,
over the past decade we have worked to make a digital literacy programme that closely follows a method that Jon's uncle worked out way back in 1956 when he was a school teacher. From 1956 till now that programme has been in constant use!!!! In schools and in adult and migrant education centres.

Geoffrey W Falkenmire originally called his programme "Now Read This - Learn to read in 10 difficult lessons" GWF has a great sense of humour. To find out more about this very inspiring teacher listen to his interview with Margaret Throsby on Classic FM.
