Reviews

Sounds-Write is a leading phonics programme written by teachers for teachers. But don’t just take our word for it—discover how the programme is improving the literacy levels of students in schools and other settings.

Dutton Park School - Brisbane

“Having a structured program like Sounds-Write saves on planning time, and ensures we are incredibly consistent with our teaching of phonics-related concepts across the school. The lessons are predictable, which is fantastic in the early years, and it’s simple to explain to teachers and parents what we’re doing and why.”

Bialik Hebrew Day School - Canada

“We needed to make a change, and the research was clear that explicit systematic phonics instruction in the lower grades was the best way to teach children to become skilled readers and spellers. We searched for a phonics program but were not persuaded until we found Sounds-Write.”

– Special Education Resource Teacher (Elementary)

 

Princecroft Primary School - UK

“Since implementing the programme, children are much more motivated in their reading and spelling. They have systems to find the correct spelling and are interested in the meaning of words.”
