Questions from schools
What to know before you start with your class.
Schools teaching foundational English literacy to children aged 4 to 10. The program takes children from letter sounds towards independent reading and can support classrooms where English is an additional language.
Videos model sounds, mouth movements, and letter formation step by step. The teacher guides participation, listens to pronunciation, and checks writing, with a clear instructional model to follow.
The teacher checks pronunciation by listening to children as they practise. Classroom does not use automated speech checking. For writing, children follow the on-screen demonstration on paper, and the teacher checks their work.
