Harebrain, Inc., the maker of WhisperPhone, and Weekly Reader Publishing Group have partnered to build reading skills. The Learn to READ: Beginning Reading Program, new from Weekly Reader Publishing Group, and its accompanying reading kits for preschool and primary classrooms will include sets of WhisperPhones for students.
“The Learn to READ program is designed to teach children the sounds of letters and words. There’s no better way for beginning readers to learn new words than to hear themselves clearly speaking those new sounds,” said Keith Garton, senior vice president for development at Weekly Reader Publishing Group. “WhisperPhone is fun for children to use and encourages the sounding-out of new words that is so critical in building early reading skills.”
“By working together, our companies can even more effectively deliver improved reading results. We’re thrilled to be working with such a high-caliber company that positively impacts literacy skills in millions of children,” said Steve Swain, vice president of business development at Harebrain, Inc.
