Adult Learning support has received a funding grant from AKO Aotearoa to produce a template resource that helps learners read. We will be taking stories from our "Books for Blokes" series and turning them into a video with the words on screen, audio narration and reading aid in the form of line indicators and "hoops" like slurs in music notation that group words together and help the learner to read in chunks.
Once we have deigned the template for the stories and tested it, we will be releasing the template under creative commons licence so that others can build on what we have done and adapt it to their own purposes.
We look forward to sharing the results with you. We would like to thank David Whitehead from the University of Waikato and also Jan Blythe and Caroline Budge for their contributions.
