About Beat Readers
Beat Readers© is an innovative and highly effective teaching tool designed to help people of all ages learn to read and spell in English.
Leveraging the education arts, the method utilizes poems, jingles, and rhymes, successfully adapted for those with learning challenges.
Its versatility extends beyond this, making it an excellent resource for teaching English as a second language, and it has been implemented
across diverse populations in South Africa, England, and now the United States.
Beat Readers© has also demonstrated effectiveness in special education settings, including for students who are deaf, making it a valuable tool for a wide range of learners.
What makes the Beat Readers program unique?
When students read poetry aloud, they benefit from practicing expression and emphasis, improving their articulation, enunciation, breath control, and voice projection.
This oral practice is crucial for learners who might not otherwise use English extensively in their daily lives, providing them with the confidence and skill to perform successfully in front of peers and parents.
The poetry also allows learners to explore and relate to the emotions and experiences they face in their own lives, making the learning process more personal and impactful.
