Moon Literacy - Launch of the Moon Literacy Website

Moon Literacy Website is Launched

On 25 January 2006 the Moon website was launched at Linden Lodge School. The event was a great success with presentations, an exhibition and also a preview of the DVD from the University of Birmingham School of Education ‘Routes to Literacy through Moon’. The presenters included:

Florence Boyles who spoke passionately about the need for Moon for people such as herself who have lost their sight later in life;
David Nelson, a teacher at Linden Lodge School who demonstrated his mnemonics programme for teaching Moon;
Steve McCall from University of Birmingham School of Education who outlined the role of Moon as a means to literacy for children with additional disabilities;
Claire Wilson, RNIB Braille and Moon Literacy Officer who offered a broader picture of Moon provision in the UK.

"Routes to Literacy through Moon" is now available on DVD or Video, accompanied by a printed commentary, price £20.00. Please contact the University of Birmingham School of Education for further details.
