Do you have to be a trained teacher to use the Bannatyne Program?
No! The Bannatyne Program has been used by many instructors, aides, parents and volunteers with great success. All that is required is a mind that is open to innovative ideas and new materials, a reasonable degree of intelligence, a willingness to study and master the Bannatyne Program, a positive enthusiasm for teaching students, and perhaps most important of all, a kindly personality that enjoys relating to students of all ages (3 through 70 years). But you will have to forget most of your past information about teaching reading, and approach the Bannatyne Program with a fresh outlook and a strong desire to learn new techniques. After all, what would your reaction be if physicians practiced medicine using only the methods of decades ago? Yet, educationally speaking, that is exactly what most schools do. The very comprehensive 13 Teacher Guides which match the 13 Workbooks Step-by-Step make it very easy for teachers, parents, aides and others to quickly learn how to teach the Bannatyne Program very efficiently. Even five-year-olds learn the format quite quickly!
The Bannatyne Reading Program is an excellent, tested reading program. The Bannatyne Reading Program is unlike any other reading programs currently available. This means you will find many features which are only in the Bannatyne Reading Program. In some Commonwealth countries the program may be referred to as: Bannatyne Programme, or Bannatyne Reading Programme.
