Welcome,              

This site provides you with essential information about how to help your child acquire the skills to become a competent and fluent reader, keen writer and a successful speller. These are the key skills to be successful as an adult in any field of endeavour.

The Simplistikit programme helps students as they study three aspects of the English Language:

Oral Language:	speaking, listening, and questioning
Reading:	decoding texts and finding meaning in what is read
Writing:	using their knowledge of the English language to express themselves in a meaningful way.

To achieve mastery, students need to explore the English language and become proficient users of all three components. At this web site you will find tools that Mary Andrew created, tested, and refined for 30 years to help students in their studies of English.

Simplistikit combines Mary Andrew's Reading & Spelling Made Simple materials with her linked literacy programme.

Simplistikit = a programme plus the materials to run the programme.
