Are you, principals and teachers, well prepared?

Please make an appointment and let us help you and your schools meet your goals.

We trust teachers who attended any of our three MERS READ SMART Workshops are aware that reading workshops are taking up about 40% of the lesson time, starting from September 2005. Our attentive audience would be familiar with the 'learning to read' and 'reading to learn' concepts and ideas. They may even be able to explain the differences between 'shared reading' and 'supported reading' and many more to you.

Don't worry if you are not well aware of what is mentioned. MERS is here to support you and your schools through the reform.

Providing Free-of-charge seminars and workshops led by professionals are one of the many things MERS offers to teachers. Besides assisting teachers in designing book packages and scheme of work, we also provide teachers with school-based training courses. A school team of effective literacy teachers will then be born.

Of course, without the proper reading materials, no teachers can make reading fun, meaningful and memorable as it should be. That is the reason why MERS is keeping pace with market needs and providing English learners and teachers with quality reading materials that have numerous text types. Our six-level collection includes award-winning and research-based series published by renowned international publishers. In addition to student books, big books,
e-books and interactive multimedia resources are also available.

We understand perfectly that a reading programme is not complete without comprehensive teaching resources. That is why we have pioneered Reading Tasks in our Teacher's Guides. Reviewed by local ELT experts, our Teacher's Guides contain a manageable and clear model to conduct reading lessons, and valuable resources that encourage readers to broaden their real and imaginative experiences, as well as develop readers' integrated language skills.
