Literacy Guide
Literacy skills you can help your child create
Our resources have been designed to help teach the necessary skills needed to help a child learn and thrive. They have been tailored to facilitate learning for children with developmental delay and learning difficulties as a means of early intervention and a way to develop lifelong skills.
Learning to read is one of the most critical skills we develop, learning to read needs to happen as early as possible so that children can use reading to learn. Learning to read correctly with the right skills increases confidence and helps children to relate reading to pleasure and create reading independence. The effects these skills have are strong vocabulary, writing and comprehension confidence.
Who are the resources designed for?
If you are a teacher, home-schooling or a teacher’s aide, you can use “the essential literacy guide “and accompanying resources to systematically teach the skills needed for reading, writing, spelling and comprehension. Our literacy approach is a synthetic phonics approach focusing also on sensory integration and phonemic awareness.

Why an essential guide to literacy?
The resources have been developed to help you help the children and adults who find acquiring literacy skills challenging. The standard approaches are not proving successful and a more targeted approach is needed.
Our resources are designed specifically for teachers, teacher aides and home-schooling families using evidence-based strategies to children and adults to improve their reading, writing, spelling and comprehension skills. Take our ready to use resources and teach through the code levels to create fluent readers. This program and resources will enable you to teach using a multisensory approach, integrating the sensory systems so that literacy instruction is fully understood and comprehended.
How the essential guide’s approach works
The Create skills for life approach uses synthetic phonics with sensory integration. Create skills for life teaches reading, spelling, writing and comprehension based on large amounts of research especially in the areas of phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. An example of this research is “Phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonemes and phoneicians” by Bartek Rajkowski, Ph.D. Speech & Language Pathologist, also known as “the reading doctor”.
Who does this approach support?
The essential guide to literacy supports a wide range of learners who find traditional and mainstream approaches to literacy teaching difficult to unpack and understand. The types of learners who benefit have autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, apraxia, global language delay, sensory processing disorder, auditory processing disorder and motor delay.
