A few years ago, I developed a way of learning to read and write well which would work for people who didn't get along well with phonics. I created a whole lot of books for a library which would help anyone who wanted to learn to read quickly and easily. This worked well so I added other programmes and now we have the Literacy Toolbox which has many different courses. Children who start using the Literacy Toolbox always learn to read and write well. Nobody has to push them at all; nobody has to 'teach' them anything - nobody gives them things to remember. They just read the books and become good readers - they just do the dictation exercises and become good writers and spellers.
I would like to hear from any children who are using or have used the Literacy Toolbox to improve their reading and writing. I would also like to hear from the mums and dads of children because I know from personal experience that it can be very painful to have a child whose reading is not as good as their friend's reading.
I would also like to hear from teachers who are using the Literacy Toolbox who will have stories about some of their children who had difficulty getting started in reading and writing.
