Easy to use, and student led, it has been proven by a school based study, analysed by the University of Surrey to be 2.8 times more effective than other methods at moving children to independent reading.

This is a fantastic resource for children struggling to learn their phonics. It is easy to use and more importantly fun for the kids. Also very reasonably priced.
