School Staff Have Full Control of the Digital Library

ePlatform provides a comprehensive suite of administrative controls designed to give school staff (librarians, teachers, and administrators) full oversight and flexibility over their digital library. Key features include the ability to assign eBooks, Audiobooks, or decodable readers directly to individual students, groups, or whole classes, enabling targeted reading assignments. Staff can also restrict titles by year level or age group, ensuring content appropriateness. Powerful reporting dashboards offer real-time insights into borrowing trends, reading time, and engagement at school, class, and individual student levels, supporting data-driven literacy planning. Additionally, staff can customise their school's ePlatform homepage with custom collections to highlight specific titles or themes, and manage loan periods and maximum simultaneous loans.

Free & Cost-Effective Titles For Class Sets

Simultaneous loans, referred to as "class sets" on ePlatform, are a valuable feature that allows multiple students to access and read the same eBook or Audiobook concurrently. This is ideal for whole-class novel studies, group discussions, or specific assignments where every student needs immediate access to a particular title.

Schools can easily create these class sets by purchasing additional copies of titles through the ePlatform shop. These purchases are highly cost-effective, with discounts of up to 75% compared to buying individual copies. The pricing is flexible, as it adjusts based on your chosen loan duration and the number of copies you need. This gives schools precise control over their budget and resource allocation. Furthermore, ePlatform also includes thousands of free, simultaneous-use titles from Project Gutenberg, offering even more flexibility and cost savings for commonly studied classics or public domain works. This ensures that whether purchasing or utilising free resources, schools can reliably provide a required number of students with a book at the same time, making lesson planning more predictable and supporting seamless classroom integration.

Settings Wizard, Immersive Reader, Notes & Highlights

ePlatform's eBooks come with a suite of features designed to enhance the reading experience and support various learning styles. Students can use the Settings Wizard to adjust display settings including font type (with dyslexia-friendly options), font size, spacing between letters, words, and lines, and background colour to suit their preferences and reduce visual stress. Another helpful tool is the Immersive Reader, which includes a built-in picture dictionary to define words, the ability to translate text into over 150 languages, line focus, and parts of speech identification (including syllables), further aiding comprehension. Additionally, all eBooks allow students to make notes and highlights to aid comprehension and help prepare for exams or assessments.

Fully Customisable Listening Experience

ePlatform's Audiobooks offer immersive listening experiences with features designed for flexibility and comprehension. Students can adjust the playback speed (multi-speed playback) to match their processing needs or listening preferences. A sleep timer is also available for bedtime listening, as well as the ability to skip forwards or back in 10-second increments, or select a specific chapter. Crucially, listening progress is automatically saved and synchronised across all devices, meaning students can pick up exactly where they left off, whether switching from a laptop to a tablet or mobile phone. Students can also bookmark their place and download titles for offline listening, ensuring access even without an internet connection.

Accessibility Features for Every Learner

ePlatform is specifically designed with features to support reluctant readers and students with learning differences, creating a more accessible and engaging reading environment. For students with dyslexia, the platform offers highly customisable settings such as dyslexia-friendly fonts, adjustable letter and line spacing, and various background colours to minimise visual strain.

Audiobooks are a game-changer, allowing students to access grade-level content through listening, bypassing decoding challenges while still building vocabulary and comprehension. By offering diverse formats and customisable settings, ePlatform empowers every student, including English Language Learners, to find a comfortable and effective way to engage with reading.

SuperLit Readers is Aligned With Synthetic Phonics

The SuperLit Readers phonics program is built on a clear scope and sequence that aligns with systematic synthetic phonics. While specific curriculum alignments can vary by region (e.g., Australian Curriculum, Common Core in the US, Letters and Sounds in the UK), its structured approach to teaching phoneme-grapheme correspondences makes it highly compatible with any curriculum that emphasises explicit and systematic phonics instruction. Its 10 structured levels are designed to fit seamlessly into diverse learning environments globally.

All Phonics Resources Are Included

SuperLit Readers comes with a comprehensive suite of accompanying resources designed to reinforce learning and support teachers. For each book, the program provides pre- and post-reading pages to prepare students and consolidate skills, alongside printable worksheets for quick and effective practice targeting decoding, encoding, and comprehension. To make practice fun, there is also an interactive listening game for each title that reinforce phonics skills with immediate feedback and can be used as an informal assessment tool. Furthermore, every book features voiceover narration and guided read-along where each word is highlighted as it's read aloud, effectively connecting written and spoken language; students can even click on individual words to hear them sounded out phonetically.

The SuperLit Readers Program is Available in Print

Yes, the full SuperLit Readers program is also available in print format, offering schools the flexibility to blend digital and physical resources. The printed books precisely match their digital counterparts in content, sequence, and accompanying resources, ensuring a seamless transition between formats. This option provides flexibility for classroom use, take-home reading, and situations where a physical book is preferred.
