How will i-read be useful for my Teaching Assistant?
i-read is an easily accessible programme for practitioners to use. A Teaching Assistant who is familiar and confident with using an interactive whiteboard may be able to lead a lesson using the Teacher’s Notes and on-screen prompts. A less ICT-confident assistant may be better employed working with groups: either those revisiting the e-text with support or those trying to apply their new-found skills to the shadow text. As with all resources, the material is merely the starting point – it is the skills of the teacher or Teaching Assistant that will make i-read really great in the classroom!
