You want to give your child a strong start, but tricky words are new to you.
This toolkit makes learning simple, visual and calm from day one.
- Already in the homework stage
And you know the pain of the same words coming home every week…
Your child forgetting them…
The stress and dips in confidence.
It’s not your fault – or theirs.
This toolkit gives children the memory hooks and playful practice they’ve been missing.
Easy to remember. Easy to practise. Confidence grows quickly.
Why This Toolkit Works
A visual, child-centred method that helps tricky words finally click.
The Toolkit combines:
- Visuals (strong memory hooks)
- Stories (meaning makes memory stick)
- Scaffolding (full support → reduced support → independence)
- Printable supports (home or school)
- Digital games (high motivation, low stress)
It follows the science of how children remember words – especially children who learn differently.
