About Now Read This

This web site complements the interactive Program, Now Read This, which is currently in production.

Now Read This is a complete literacy Program to help adults and young people to learn to read and write English. It is suitable for institutions and home tutoring where there are teachers and tutors available.

Now Read This is also suitable for individuals to teach themselves, as long as they have access to a computer and the ability to play a disc in it.

The interactive Program will be the first electronic media version of Now Read This since its creation back in 1956. Over the past 50 years Now Read This has evolved through many revisions and reprintings. It has been adapted for adults and a home-tutor scheme. Now Read This has also been used very successfully in teaching English as a second language by the Australian Adult Migrant Education Service. (It can still be used effectively to address junior literacy problems).

Now Read This has never been "out of print". ISBN 1 875885 03 X
