A growing number of children are learning to read on the Internet. That might horrify some people! But the Internet is actually an excellent literacy coaching medium for several reasons: 1 It is on the computer. Children naturally like doing activities on the computer. 2 You can deliver immense technical expertise to coaching individual children. The truth is that teaching literacy well is a technical activity that takes a lot of training.
And yet children need daily coaching. The Internet is an extremely practical way to do that. 3 The child is just working one-on-one with the computer. This makes it a more private and less stressful experience than working with an adult, when reading is a struggle.
4 The Internet can adjust each activity to the right level for each child. 5 Delivery can be controlled. We have found that a child will learn faster by being given less to learn each day. That may sound strange, but six new things learnt thoroughly are worth far more than a dozen new things half-learnt. Whatever people believe, the truth lies in the results. We have seen children crack reading in just days and weeks, having struggled for years with conventional teaching approaches.
