This program is brilliant and I would recommend it to parents for an engaging reading at home! Progress is easily monitored so that therapists, parents and students can see keep track. Students are incentivized by collecting rewards with a safari theme and are encouraged to use the program regularly. Positive results show soon thereafter!

 

Remedial Therapist

Elizabeth Nadler-Nir, inventor of My Reading Gym
(Msc Speech language pathology, University of Cape Town)

Elizabeth graduated as a Speech Language therapist in 1992 and worked for many years within multi-disciplinary teams and at schools. In 2007 she began working with a talented team of Speech Language therapists to offer a language-based literacy intervention to school age students. She realised the need for access to high quality literacy intervention in the broader South African context, and so developed MRG. Together with business partners, writers, developers and designers, she developed an affordable and accessible online programme.

She is passionate about helping more children to read and she doesn’t only want them reading confidently – she wants them to love it.
