THE CoolerRuler:
PUTTING YOU IN CHARGE
OF YOUR PROGRESS
Boost Your Learning Power
Happy New Year
← return to main pageWelcome to 2009 everyone. My New Year’s resolution this year is to use this blog in the way it’s meant to be used and try to keep you all updated on what we’re all up to at RulerReading. I’ve just finished taking down the dried-up holly and fir branches and wrapping glass baubles at home; this usually makes me sad, but not this year. I’m so looking forward to the next few months, although it’s going to keep me terrifyingly busy.
This month we’ve arranged to give away a free CoolerRuler with Headteacher Update Extra, so about a hundred and fifty lucky Head Teachers are about to discover the benefits that The CoolerRuler can bring to their pupils. In addition, the next big order is in with the manufacturers and we’re on a mission to let the world know that easy reading is achievable for all.
We carried out a small-scale piece of research last year and this year we are embarking on something on a larger scale involving more participants over a longer period of time. The results of the first project were very encouraging, so we have high hopes for the new research.
If you are reading this and happen to be one of the people who already own a CoolerRuler, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us an email and let us know how you’re getting on.
