Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists give irs Words 5/5

The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists have reviewed irs Words in their Bulletin magazine. The review gave irs Words 5 out of 5 overall, noting that;

"The program's strength is the fact that as a content-free framework it affords flexibility in addressing a range of targets; for example, I have used it to show expansion of noun phrases and how conjunctions work, but the possibilities are endless"

irs Words highly recommended

irs Words has been highly recommended in the January edition of NASEN's (formerly the National Association for Special Educational Needs) Special magazine. The review was written by a teacher in charge of a speech and language centre in a primary school.

"irs words is proving to be a valuable enhancement both to specialist literacy lessons and to small group speech and language therapy sessions..."

"for the primary-age children that I teach. They have a range of speech and language difficulties and respond very well to this sort of multi-sensory approach to learning."

"I would highly recommend this resource as one that is genuinely user
friendly. The fact that it is so straightforward not only means that it
has the potential to address an array of targets with a wide range of
pupils in a variety of settings, but also that I will actually use it on
a regular basis!"

The review also mentions how easy the program was to use and how helpful the help and tutorial sections were.
