This software is suitable for primary and secondary school students who are experiencing reading difficulties, including those who are dyslexic or have ADD. It is also suitable for adult learners and ‘English as a Second Language’ students.

The strength of Reading Freedom is in its modern phonics-based approach and its fundamental principles of structured instruction, and positive reinforcement through the demonstrated mastery of basic reading skills.

Reading Freedom 4 is specifically designed for students who lack independent reading skills, including those students with reading problems.

The program teaches students to use the essential skills necessary to deal with the long and complex words they encounter in their reading experiences. It enables them to read multi syllabic words and those containing prefixes, base words and suffixes, compound words, and contractions.

Students are asked to demonstrate mastery of these words through a series of activities. This involves dividing and then reading words that cannot be recognised immediately, spelling, extensive word recognition activities and vocabulary development.

The interactive exercises, voiceover support, motivational activities and reinforcement through positive feedback combine to bring students to an independent reading level, where they can read longer and more complex words with accuracy and fluency.

The program continuously monitors students as they progress through the learning modules, and only when they have displayed competency within a module can they move on to the next.
