Letterland
Letterland is a phonics-based approach to teaching reading, writing and spelling for 3 to 10 year olds.
Letterland was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages learners leading to long term retention of concepts. What’s more, Letterland is wonderfully multi-sensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play.

At Letterland, we understand that these are difficult times for teachers and parents. We want to do absolutely everything possible to make sure that your learners are able to continue visiting Letterland, despite school closures. That’s why we will be sharing as many free resources as possible, so that schools are able to support parents and learners if they are learning from home.
What are teachers saying about Letterland? The teaching reading, writing and spelling resource for 3-8 year old children.
Letterland is a fantastic resource to use. I teach grade R learners. For most of them, English is their second or third language. I love the way Letterland teaches the basics of the English language and makes it fun. I would advise any teacher or parent to use Letterland products to help reinforce English as a language.

I have Living ABC and stories and use it everyday with my interactive board. My kids at school have really benefitted from using this programme.
