[senco-forum] Reading in Secondary Schools

For general inforamtion
I am starting a new system in September for sending out materials for SEN.  Trial versions which work for one month will be immediately downloadable from my new website. Hopefully this will make it easier for schools who feel they might be interested in comparing resources from various publishers .

Currenlty I am focused on producing one-term reading sub-skill courses and hope to able to offer something which will directly tackle every known reading subskill. At present I cover segmenting skills, listening and general literacy skills, decoding skills,word recogniton skills, sentence building skills, comprehension skills for readers with reading ages of 8.5+ and compehension skills for readers with reading ages less than 8. My materials generally are only suitable for childen aged at least 8 and are mostly used in secondary schools learning support departments. 

I am producing a new series of resouces called 'Lets get technical' These are intended to strengthen the links between Learning Support and subject departements. By September I hope to have the first three completed their trials in four schools, These will focus on Science, History and Geography at Key Stage 3. They are suitable for children in Years 8 and 9 with very significant reading difficulties. They are intended to be used in parallel with a main remedail reading scheme and will introduce and exercise the knowledge and language associated with the particular subjects. Like all my stuff, pupils can be given copies to install on their own home computers for completing homework assignments. They will be directly downloadable from September.
Electronic Library 300 will change next year and will have a Junior and a Senior library on the same CD and a total of 400 titles.

Hope the information is suitable.

Did anyone find out about Ruth?
