What is Write2Spell2Read?

A proven handwriting, spelling, & reading program embedded with neuroscience research on the most effective methods to teach literacy

Australian literacy program for learning alphabet letters, numbers, handwriting, spelling, spelling rules and reading.

Authored by Samantha Woods, an Occupational Therapist & Certified Neurodevelopmental Therapist with over 30 years’ experience working in consultation with Speech & Language Pathologists. Sam has specialist knowledge of how children learn and children’s learning difficulties.

Neuroscience evidence-based research and best practice is embedded in the design.

Simplifies the complex English language using synthetic phonics – links 44 English sounds to alphabet letters.

Teaches ‘sound to print’- students learn the 44 sounds of the English language, and how to write these sounds with the alphabet letters. Links 44 sound pictures to the writing of letter spelling choices for the alphabet sounds.

What differentiates Write2Spell2Read from other programs is that students learn at the same time the English language sounds and how to write these sounds, rather than learning these skills separately. Teaches handwriting, spelling and reading at the same time – not separately.

Students learn to blend these sound/letter groups together to read and spell words fluently. Teaches these sound/letter groups in a clearly defined developmental sequence.

Develops automatic handwriting – no letter or number reversals. Automatic handwriting of letters ‘sets up’ the brain for learning to read.

Multisensory with 3 brain areas working together – combines letter sounds (auditory), with handwriting and movement (motor) and 44 sound pictures (visual memory).

Program design strengthens Working Memory – essential for literacy success.

Complete package of resources for simple and effective teaching.

Easy to teach – all the hard work has been done for teachers and parents – step by step plan showing not only ‘what to teach’, but ‘how to teach’.

Used from Beginners to Adult Literacy, for mainstream, gifted, and special needs students and by teachers, therapists and parents.

Students find it engaging and fun to use.
