Classroom support
-
Our audio editions of set texts provide an
interesting and acceptable format for students
unable to fluently or adequately access the
print text.
-
Provide students with the opportunity to focus
on the development of the text rather than
focussing on the mechanics of the reading
process.
-
Allow students to develop an appreciation of
the rhythms and sounds of spoken English -
especially valuable for ESL students.
-
Stimulating classroom discussion - play a
highlight from a reading and engage the
students in the text and open up a classroom
discussion.
-
Our audio books help teach aural literacy.
-
A short story from one of our anthologies -
such as The Girl Who Married a Fly provides
the ideal solution for that unexpected extra
class which you are not prepared for.
-
Teacher Notes are available for most titles.
Resources for HSC and VCE
-
A range of set texts from the current lists
have been produced - fiction and non-fiction;
poetry, plays, biographies included.
-
Plays are recorded using a full cast - each
character played by a different actor,
allowing the student to fully focus on the
plot development.
-
Poetry recordings allow the beauty and rhythm
of the language to be appreciated.
-
Invaluable for students from an ESL
background.
Boys and audio books
Aware of the ongoing concern surrounding boys and
reading attention has been paid to selecting
titles of high interest and appeal to boys.
Soccer, cars, girls, bullying and the world of
work are some of the issues introduced.
Authors such as David Metzenthen, James Moloney,
Brian Caswell, John Larkin and Michael Hyde
demonstrate their skill in writing for this
target group.
