Resource type:
Audio to read the story is controlled by the pupil. Pupil can truly challenge themselves to read the story first on their own and then to check the words they struggled with by clicking on the words.
The audio is slow to give students a chance to recognize the pronunciation and letter association to sound. The story can be viewed in lined paper format also so that students can unconsciously connect how letters in words are presented on paper.
