How our Reading and Writing Success System Works
Our Reading and Writing Success System teaches foundational literacy through a research-aligned sequence that works for early readers, older learners, and students with dyslexia. We move beyond mechanical repetition to ensure every student connects sounds and symbols to language comprehension. Whether filling gaps or starting fresh, the system builds the background knowledge and sound–symbol foundations required for meaningful communication.
These stages support learners aged 2.5–15+, ensuring progress is clear, measurable, and achievable. By integrating decoding skills with true understanding, we transform the path to literacy into a logical journey toward confident, fluent reading.
The First Three Stages of Learning
1.
Foundational Early skills
Children build the essential sound–letter base needed for reading and writing.
Focus areas:
- Speech sounds
- Letter formation
- Blending to read
- Segmenting to write
Short daily activities and audio models make this stage quick and repeatable.
2.
Phrase and Cluster Work
Children move from single words to fluent phrase reading and writing.
Focus areas:
- Reading and writing phrases
- Vowel and consonant practise
- Consonant clusters
- Common irregular “thorny” words
3.
Sentences and Comprehension
Children develop independent reading, writing, and understanding.
Focus areas:
- Reading and writing sentences
- Decodable passages
- Visual literacy
- Grammar (nouns, verbs, pronouns)
- Punctuation
- Early comprehension
“Children who join our programme learn to read.”
