Absolutely – we feel that by expanding their oral vocabulary, you can increase their skill and confidence.
Mrs Wordsmith is designed to provide structure, repetition, and support. Hilarious illustrations and child-friendly definitions make learning more attractive than traditional literacy programmes. Learning should be fun, and stress-free!
Remember, it's not just about building knowledge of a word in terms of what it means, it's also important for children to become familiar with the shape of new words and how they look on the page.
What are the best ways for a child with dyslexia to use our products?
- Start by reviewing the illustration and the main word together.
- Read the word aloud, noticing elements of the picture that reinforce the meaning of the word. Read the definition. Then, talk about other ways that the word might be used.
- Point to the words as you read them aloud to highlight how they look written down.
- Displaying the words and illustrations around the house is a great way to increase exposure to new vocabulary and to make practice a part of daily life.
