The beating heart of literacy teaching

Learn to read, spell and write with The Word Factory.
Our aim is to have every child in primary school, with rare exceptions, reading to ability.

Its unique, reliable structure is ideal for children with dyslexia and its visual approach is ideal for children with autism. Its uncluttered format is helpful and children who need more time can have it; they will be making steady progress.
