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 cover the fundamental components of early literacy success: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, word recognition, oral language and comprehension. All taught as part of an integrated approach as supported by the sciences of reading, for all children, including those with literacy difficulties such as dyslexia.

We acknowledge that learning to read is a complex process and can’t be restricted to one narrow approach. Teachers need a tool kit of methods to deliver high-interest structured literacy lessons that are explicit, fun and meaningful and that help children meet with success in literacy.

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