Level 1 Spelling + Writing Course For Pupils Who Can Already Read

Reading Made Simple Level 1: The Spelling Method That Teaches Your Child to Write

For pupils aged 6+ who can already read but cannot yet write with confidence — because spelling has been holding their writing back. Ideal for homeschoolers, dyslexia/SEN intervention, catch-up learners, and ESL/EFL students (children or adults) who need non-babyish material.

Prerequisite: your child should already be able to blend and read/spell words with up to 4 sounds, including a short vowel (e.g. nest, glad). This pack is written specifically for a child who can read but still needs to learn to spell — and, through that, to write.

Please see our Tom series and Jack series for pupils who need to learn to both read and spell/write.

More than a spelling programme — a writing programme. Each week's short lesson teaches a new spelling pattern, then puts it straight to work: a dictation using only taught words, so your child practises writing real sentences with words they've already mastered, while quietly revising everything that came before. It's the moment spelling stops being an isolated drill and starts becoming the tool your child uses to write.

Reduced mental overload along with constant review = success!

What's included:

• Teacher's manual — 44 structured, sequential lessons, one short lesson a week
• Word Lists in A4 poster format
• Phonic and sight word flashcards, plus PowerPoint flashcards with picture and gesture cues
• 44 matching worksheets

How each worksheet builds toward writing:

• Tracking (spotting the new pattern in a passage built only from taught words), Labelling (linking sound to spelling, including plurals),
• Comprehension (answers written using only known vocabulary), and
• Be the Teacher (proofreading practice — check the spelling, check the punctuation, copy it out correctly).

No technical phonics jargon required — full instructions are given for every lesson, so you can open the manual and teach.

This is Level 1 of the four-level Reading Made Simple series, trialled with real pupils across a range of ages and abilities, and built to succeed where other programmes have failed — including for children with a special educational need.

Start today — and watch your child go from "I can read" to "I can write."
