The Early Words Manual

You don’t need the Early Words manual to do the course, but you will need it to implement the programme afterwards. Course participants are offered a discount (see below) if they buy the manual.

The Early Words manual has all you need to deliver the programme with:

• full instructions
• QR codes for videoed lessons
• photocopiable activity sheets
• certificates
• progress charts
• assessments

"Earlier in the term I began using your Early Words programme with one of our Year 1 children, who had no known words when tested at the beginning of this year. She was making very, very slow progress. An extremely timid, quiet Pacifica girl, who a few months down the track has blossomed into a confident and extremely proud young lady, who could give any adult a run for their money when it comes to speed reading all 48 words in Early Words. What a difference your programme has made to her whole being - on so many levels!"

Lisa Wisler, Katikati School

"I am a teacher of children with delayed language, and have found the Early Words system invaluable. It provides a systematic, straight-forward method of learning essential words with lots of repetition in different forms. My pupils who participate in the programme love the feeling of success in reading they get. Their smiles say it all!"

Susan Skarsholt, Resource Teacher of Deaf Children, Auckland

"I am a big fan of the Early Words programme and have found it to be very successful in our school."

Samantha Pelham, Ouruhia School

"We are finding the programme very effective especially for the children that are struggling in a normal reading programme. I am doing an intense literacy morning based around the early words and am seeing great results."

Jacqui Brabyn, NE teacher, Pahiatua School
