Love Literacy

Fun - Effective - Proven

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 2002, Yolanda Soryl and her team have empowered over 25,000 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.

Phonics, word recognition and early literacy training and resources for schools and whānau.
