Kids naturally have an amazing capacity to absorb vocabulary. By combining ear and eye, they get an immersive reading experience in which comprehension and vocabulary acquisition is optimized.
The WholeReader library contains tens of thousands of pages of wonderful storytelling meticulously aligned, word for word, with real human narration.
With WholeReader, you don't just read a book, you listen to it too and it helps you improve your pronunciation. I am learning many new words every day, which I would never have been able to do while learning English at school.”
“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”
You can think of English as a massive ladder with 20,000 word-family rungs. The only way to fully absorb the core vocabulary is through years of effort, with daily reading of challenging material.
For optimal learning, we want students to always be reading books with 3-4% new words. Periodic vocabulary assessment allows the app to focus the student on books which provide this ideal level.
Both parents and teachers will enjoy how easy it is to give children assignments with WholeReader and then follow activity.
Students simply select a book and follow along the narration for the prescribed time each day. Parents or teachers receive a daily aggregated report showing student work.
I trained my Iraqi student, a mother with reasonable English to help her 8 year old boy who had difficulty in English class in school, to use WholeReader stories as an extracurricular activity to improve his reading. After two months of reading every day for one hour with his mother. He was able to catch up with his classmates. The school teacher was very surprised by this improvement.”
“I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.”
