All of the books are presented in Flash, with clear text read out loud and highlighted word by word, while still retaining the natural flow of how books are read. Our narrators are chosen for their clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation of words, facilitating a clear flow of ideas, as opposed to many books with text to speech engines. Easy Learning books are also available as PDF files that you can download and print to add to your classroom library without having to purchase additional materials.
Easy Learning Books are specifically tailored for children with autism or other special needs, as well as ESL
CLEAR, CONCISE, ENJOYABLE BOOKS
CONCEPTS
Easy Learning Books follow the monthly themes of the general school year calendar and holidays, as well as real life concepts your student or child will be exposed to. Our goal is to simplify the concepts and provide a clear idea that is easy to convey to each student.
DATA COLLECTION AND TRACKING
While every part of Easy Learning Books is important, data collection and tracking is a key tool for educators to determine how students look at, process and utilize the information being presented. That's why we include Online Quizzes that automatically record student response time and each item clicked on in order of response. Our viewable and printable data will enable you to keep track of each student's progress and give you valuable insight as to how your student looks at and uses information. Our easy- to-understand video guide will help you log in and set up individual student records so you can obtain data on how each student is performing with Easy Learning Books.
LESSON PLANS
Each Easy Learning Book comes with lesson plans. The format of our lesson plans is easily adaptable to your class. Each book comes with 2-3 lessons. Each lesson is formatted by objective, materials needed, procedure and follow-up. Plans are presented in Microsoft Word for easy editing to make them unique to you and your students. Look for more lesson plans in the Teacher Work Room.
REINFORCEMENT
You will note two unique things about these books. The first is that each page has a picture symbol paired with a clear photo to target the concept or main idea of each page. This is for the educators that use a picture exchange system to reinforce and communicate with students who have speech difficulties or other special needs. Second, there are no page numbers on the printable versions. This is done on purpose to give you the option to reduce the number of concepts being presented and still have consistency with the Flash versions presented on the web site. Each of our books comes with printable worksheets using the same symbols as found in our books. This will help provide reinforcement of the concepts and increase the use of the words and concepts.
MULTISENSORY
Each student is unique. That means that that every student will learn through a different strength, be it visual, auditory or tactile. Easy Learning Books seeks to provide your students with input for each of the primary modalities of learning to stimulate and enhance the learning experience. From our exceptionally clear and exciting soundtracks, to the highlighted text and easy-to-use printables, our books will stimulate and deliver concepts in an easy and direct way that will enable your students to fully understand the world around them. We recommend printing and laminating the last page of each book to enable children who learn with a tactile modality to have a physical symbol corresponding to the books that helps the children use their strengths to further their understanding of concepts.
ESL
Many English students understand English but don't feel confident enough to join a conversation. Easy Learning Books is a great way to enable students who are learning English to become more confident and to understand the appropriate pronunciation and use of primary English words and concepts.
