Press Release: Waterford Institute Announces New Innovative Education Solution

Waterford Institute develops yet another solution to improve learning in the classroom through the growing popularity of Interactive Whiteboards. Whereas Waterford Institute’s award-winning software has been available to schools and students through one-on-one computer-based curriculum, now teachers can use the same proven strategies from Waterford Early Reading™ to create group and classroom engagement in phonological awareness and reading comprehension.

Based on the proven strategies and systematic approach of Waterford Early Learning™ software, Waterford Institute’s Interactive Whiteboard Lessons provide teachers with high-quality and easy to use tools for group and classroom early literacy instruction. Incorporating the beloved songs, books and characters of Waterford Early Reading, these 29 unique lessons help engage children and assist in teaching literacy concepts.

Of Waterford’s Interactive Whiteboard Lessons, Benjamin Heuston, COO and President of Waterford Institute, says “Working with the increasingly prevalent whiteboard technology allowed us to adapt our proven early reading content into new, exciting teacher tools. By harnessing the unique features of interactive whiteboards, we can partner with teachers to help students develop skills in phonological awareness and reading comprehension.”

Waterford Early Learning Interactive Whiteboard Lessons offer valuable benefits:

• Empower teachers with proven, research-based strategies for whole-group instruction
• Provide easy tools for teachers to use immediately
• Maximize the teaching potential of interactive whiteboards
