Phonics, word recognition and early literacy training and resources for teachers, teacher aides and whānau.

At Yolanda Soryl Literacy, we believe in giving every child an opportunity to learn and experience the joy of reading. The training and resources we provide include the fundamental components of The Science of Reading: phonemic awareness, oral language, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. All as part of an integrated approach to learning literacy.

We acknowledge that children learn to read in varying ways, requiring their teachers to draw on a broad tool kit of methods to teach them.

Since 2005, Yolanda Soryl and her team have empowered over 20,000 educators with the knowledge, tools and confidence to provide children with the phonics, word recognition and early literacy skills they need.

Structured literacy designed for the New Zealand classroom.

The Reggio School in Madrid, Spain, has been called one of the most inventive school buildings ever built.
This school was created after two years of collaboration between the architect and the school community. The architect Andrés Jaque listened carefully to their wants and needs, designing an innovative building to meet their desires.
The students asked for a school without walls that was like a garden and also a spaceship. The teachers wanted a building that could be used as a teaching tool, and a game, and never feel quite finished.
The school has many innovations including a living skin for insects and fungi with rainwater running down the façade to nourish whatever microbial lifeforms take hold.
