I work as a teaching assistant / literacy coach and I think it is the best "one to one" scheme for teaching reading and spelling rules that I have ever encountered. I have used the Word Wasp personally and it is also used at my son's school. Even if your child does not have reading or spelling problems the Word Wasp will give them a fantastic head start. Every parent and every child should have one. The new edition is great too, much more user friendly and even better still you dont have to be a genius to use it. It taught me as I used it, it comes with instructions and it really does work!

I am a Deputy Headteacher in a very challenging school for pupils with Social, Emotional and Behavioural difficulties. I also teach English in the school; although I am not an English Specialist. Many of our pupils have either untestable or reading ages that are significantly (in some cases 50%) lower than their chronological age. This text is a means to tackle the issues of literacy on 1-1 basis. The beauty of this approach is that even the pupils who cannot read, can access it and make progress.
The 'Instructions for Coaches' are really straightforward and easily to follow. We as a school will be investing in this product because it works; the author Harry and his wife Marie have a real passion for improving phonological development and the benefits of that development.
You do not need to be an expert on phonics to use this approach ; but by the time you have completed this book, either as a coach, pupil or adult learner, you will feel like an expert on phonics !

The Word Wasp is a fantastic book. My son is 8 and has struggled with reading and writing since starting school. This book has helped us turn the corner. It is not an easy option and requires time, patience and hard work but it has got my son enthusiastically writing shopping lists for his mother and settling down on the sofa looking at books out of choice for the first time. It has also helped me to improve my spelling. A great book.
