BRI Beginning Reading Instruction ARI Advanced Reading Instruction
Effective reading instruction for home use
If a child can participate in everyday conversation, then s/he can start to read with BRI-ARI. The first books contain just three words and five sounds so that children are able to read little stories right from day one.
Early intervention for struggling readers
BRI-ARI is a gentle and lively introduction to early reading instruction. The books are carefully structured and provide the ‘know-how’ that is essential for struggling readers.
English as a foreign language
BRI-ARI is the result of many years of research and development by linguists and educational psychologists. It has been extensively trialled and tested. The text is ideal for children whose first language isn't English.
Comprehensive instruction for tutors and SEN teachers
BRI-ARI’s uncomplicated structure and straightforward directions allow specialist tutors and SENCOs to teach virtually all pupils to read, including those with significant learning difficulties. The books are the ideal choice for preparing children for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.
BRI-ARI, a feast of books for children, contains text that is 100% decodable. Children receive ample practice in handling known letter/sound correspondences in each book before proceeding to the next book.
Introducing MRI for older children and adults
MRI is a ground-breaking approach to teaching older students to read.
The programme is designed for children aged 9 upwards and all adults who have slipped through the education system without mastering the fundamentals of literacy.
These books contain vibrant stories offering an unrivalled opportunity to develop accurate decoding with enhanced comprehension resulting in confident, fluent reading. Fully compatible with Synthetic Phonics, the meticulously chosen vocabulary, combined with ample interleaving and overlearning, ensures that decoding becomes second nature.
