Hornet Literacy Primer

Phonics & Structure.  A Manual for Teaching the Basic Rules and Structures of English (Reading and Spelling)

For any student, adult or child, with severe literacy problems and any parent who wishes to give their child the kind start in school which will allow them to reach the early key stages without anxiety.

Like its parent text, The Word Wasp, the Hornet teaches the rules and structures of English but it starts at a lower and slower primary level. Auditory discrimination plays a key role in the early exercises. It is not aimed at any particular age group as The Hornet recognizes that the problems which lie at the root of poor literacy skills are the same for seven and seventy year old students alike. However, it is the perfect text for dealing with the early Key Stages. It is both coach and student friendly.

The Hornet was developed. like its companion text, The Word Wasp, with both dyslexic adults and children. It is therefore, free from any kind of language or graphics which could be deemed as patronising.
