Many students have great difficulty understanding individual sound-spelling relationships if their only opportunities to master them occur solely within a story context.

Experience
We are a passionate team of educators from Australia with a combined 20+ years of experience. We've taught a wide range of subjects, including English, History (HASS), Research Project, and Geography. Our unique backgrounds have also allowed us to specialise in teaching EALD (English as an Additional Language or Dialect) and ATSI students (Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander).
We've engaged in professional research in partnership with The University of South Australia into the impact of culturally aware pedagogies.
Teaching style
Our main objective is to provide resources focused on supporting students' reading development. Working with students from Pre-K to Year 12, we understand the varying needs, complexities and demands of students, their families and the pressure this places on teachers.
When supporting reading, we can break this down into three main categories: decoding, fluency and comprehension. Our resources are designed to support students explicitly in these key areas. We understand reading is a complex skill, so have designed our resources to be simple, easy-to-use and intentional (they each have a specific purpose and desired outcome).
