Letterland

Letterland is a systematic and explicit phonic literacy resource and has been helping children learn to read and write for many years. In fact 2008 marked 40 years since Lyn Wendon (pictured opposite) first created Letterland in order to help failing children who were constantly baffled by print. We would encourage you to visit the Letterland site at http://www.letterland.com/.
