AN ONLINE READING PROGRAM DESIGNED BY TEACHERS ESPECIALLY FOR TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS!!

LITERACY SUPPORT AT HOME, IN THE CLASSROOM AND IN TUITION BUSINESSES
without the stress and tears!

Reading is the most amazing superpower children can have. However, it can be the most overwhelming and frustrating skill to teach, and for children to learn.

For teachers, guided reading lessons need to be planned: reflective of the current curriculum, implemented and monitored, whilst keeping the rest of the class on task!!

For parents, the struggle is real, with so many demands on your time, coupled with the stress and despair you feel, when your child struggles to read.

For Tuition Centres, the enormous task of meeting so many different needs of your clients, plus training your tutors, can be overwhelming!

With the BORN2READ online, systematic reading program, you have everything you need at your fingertips.  With readers (stories) that are jam-packed full of fun characters and engaging stories, children will become confident readers, as they follow the sequence of readers, and engage in the process of reading.

Plus, with BORN2READ, you will have access to our MEMBERS’ AREA, filled with resources and activities to get children reading and writing.  Teachers, think posters, activity sheets, learning intentions and success criteria – just to name a few!  Parents think fun activity sheets, sight word books and colouring-in sheets.  Tuition Centre owners – we’ve got you covered too: planning documents, enrolment forms, activities for lessons, plus much more!

The burden of teaching children to read is lightened.  Imagine the teaching of reading without the tears and frustration!!  With BORN2READ, it really is possible.

THE TEACHER BEHIND THE BRAND

Hi! I’m Katrina Casey, the founder of the BORN2READ reading program. I have over 30 years of teaching experience and love to teach young children to read and write.

As a practising classroom teacher, I know first-hand about the pressure and never-ending demands on teachers’ time, especially when it comes to teaching children to read and write.  As a mother whose child struggled to read, I also understand the stress parents go through, when their child cannot read.

With the help of others, I have developed BORN2READ to buy back more time, for both teachers and parents, and to make teaching literacy more enjoyable (because the heavy lifting of finding engaging readers with activities, has been done!)

Having trialled BORN2READ in my tuition centres and in mainstream schools, I know that BORN2READ can help kids read more quickly, confidently and with lots of excitement.

Some Things Change, Others Stay the Same!

Wow!  What a start to the year! As most of you probably know, this year I thought it would be an excellent idea to return, full time, to the classroom.  After all, the BORN2READ® Experience of levelled readers was complete, (finally), and I had found myself hanging out by the fridge, far too many times […]
