The Rainbow Reading Programme is designed to present students with a variety of topics, authors, styles and illustrations to make reading interesting while skills are improved. Each story or article has been carefully selected because of its educational value and attraction to a wide range of students with varying needs and interests. Books are levelled, colour coded, and are accompanied by a specially recorded audio CD (with MP3 file) to provide support for readers. A comprehensive Teacher's Manual and Training DVD ensure that this simple, yet effective, programme can be easily implemented. Assessment sheets feature the titles of the books presented for teachers to take Running Records to monitor progress. Cloze (Text Completion), Text Sequencing, Word Search, Writing and Dice Game sheets provide meaningful text-related activities.
The Rainbow Reading Programme has been developed, thoroughly researched and trialled by qualified reading specialists. It has been enthusiastically accepted by teachers and students worldwide through distributors in N.Z, Australia, U.K, Sweden, Hong Kong and South Africa.
The Rainbow Reading Programme is non-threatening, supportive, interesting, enjoyable, economical, easy to implement and effective at improving reading skills.
