Long overdue

What a great app for teachers & parents of older struggling readers. I can carry every decidable title on my iPad and add another whenever a new skill set comes up in my instructional rotation.

Exceptional

Older struggling students and adults have complex needs and secondary problems such as learned helplessness. TAP books in their app format take away the negative association with reading and present books on a platform that engages the older reader.

At any age struggling readers can exhibit deficiencies in phonological processing and reading speed and accuracy issues at the word level. Tap books allow students and adults to practise decoding in age appropriate stories improving their phonological processing, fluency, accuracy, vocabulary and reading comprehension.

There is such a gap in what is available for struggling readers. It is never too late to learn to read! Very reasonably priced too!

Stories teens want to and enjoy reading

I use these ebooks with my year 7 and year 9 students who have hit a plateau with there reading due to lack of phonic teaching.

They enjoy reading these stories and always tell me the reading is their favourite part of our sessions. These are the only decodable books I have found which are aimed at teens and adults. They are super value for money, engaging and at a level which is just right for confidence building.
Thank you for filling the void which needed filling.

That's wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to write this. I encourages us to keep growing the collection. On that note, you can look forward to more stories coming to TAP this fall!
