Sounds~Write is an exciting, new approach to the teaching of reading, spelling and writing. Our week-long, intensive courses have now been attended by over 6,500 classroom practitioners, educational psychologists and members of local authority support teams. The programme is already being used extensively in primary and secondary schools throughout Devon, Wigan, Salford, Kent, Milton Keynes and Bedfordshire, Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic and Australia, as well as in dozens of individual schools around the country. Read some testimonials to Sounds~Write.

The DCSF's independent assessors have scrutinised our self-assessment and approved its accuracy. See our entry on the DCSF Standards Website for full details.
