The Word Wasp
Hornet Literacy Primer
- Who is it for?
Any student, adult or child, with severe
literacy problems.
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.
- Primary Schools
In recognition that
primary schools are reluctant to buy other texts which their students might
not complete before moving on to high school; the Hornet allows for earlier
intervention at a more basic level and at a much lower price.
- What is it for?
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.
- At which age group is the Hornet
aimed?
The Hornet is not aimed at any particular age
group. 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.
- Adults with literacy problems
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.
- Does the Hornet use synthetic phonics?
Yes!
- How is it used?
The Hornet is a one-to-one text containing
instructions, advice and exercises.
- Do coaches require specialist
training?
No! The Hornet has been developed with learning
support assistants, housewives and students. Like the other texts written by
the Author, Toe by Toe and the Word Wasp, the Hornet was written for the
kitchen table.
