"I believe many pupils remember the stress of first learning to read in primary school, and it puts them off going any further. What they need is some positive reinforcement. When we praise them, they don't always believe us - however, if the computer says they're good, they believe it must be true!" Janet Oliver, Learning Resource Manager
