MRI is a ground-breaking approach to teaching older people to read.
The programme is designed for children aged 9 upwards and all adults who have slipped through the education system without mastering the fundamentals of literacy. Students can start from a very low reading age or use MRI to build upon existing reading skills.
50 books of witty and elegant stories are ideal for readers with dyslexia or similar problems; MRI is structured to enable them, step-by-step, to become fluent readers. Carefully chosen vocabulary, intelligent use of repetition and rigorous instruction ensures that decoding becomes second nature. MRI includes an easy-to-use, photocopiable Tutor Guide.
BRI-ARI’s uncomplicated structure and straightforward directions allow specialist tutors and SENCOs to teach virtually all pupils to read, including those with significant learning difficulties. The books are the ideal choice for preparing children for the YEAR 1 PHONICS SCREENING CHECK.
BRI-ARI, a feast of books for children, contains text that is 100% decodable. 
Children receive ample practice in handling known letter/sound correspondences in order to read fluently before proceeding to the next book.
If a child can participate in everyday conversation, then s/he can start to read with BRI-ARI. The first books contain just three words and five sounds so that children are able to read little stories right from day one.
Early intervention for struggling readersBRI-ARI is a gentle and lively introduction to early reading instruction. The books are carefully structured and provide the ‘know-how’ that is essential for struggling readers.
English as a second languageBRI-ARI is the result of many years of research and development by linguists and educational psychologists. It has been extensively trialled and tested. The text is ideal for children who do not have English as their home language.
The Piper Books range is tried and tested. It is used by parents, grandparents, schools and for adult education. We welcome feedback from our customers and please do feel free to email us if you have any queries. |

| MRI: New reading programme for older children and young adults This is an exciting development for older children and adults who find reading difficult for a variety of reasons. BRI: Customer feedback “I truly feel that these little books have allowed me to fulfil a very important job as a parent – teaching my child to read. I am so appreciative that the tools and simple instruction were so readily available to make the process easy and enjoyable for both of us!” “My granddaughter, age 5, read to me today – the last book in set 3, which she had not read before. She read fluently, stopped to reread when she made a mistake and it didn’t make sense, and sounded out words she wasn’t sure about. How easy it is for a normally developing child to learn with BRI!” |
