Learning is most effective when it takes place in the context of the learners. Reading material that learners can relate to and apply directly to their personal and professional lives enables them to operate at a cognitive level and improves comprehension. This, in turn encourages them to read more and improves their language skills.

The Helper Series of products creates relevant contexts for specific groups of learners. Each Helper program is a set of carefully constructed reading material and practice exercises relevant to the context of the learner group. This reading material is delivered using ReadToMeTM. The value of the content is magnified because of the technological capability of ReadToMe™.
