Reading for Pleasure Not Pressure. Celebrating Linguistic and Neurodiversity.
I use the world’s only bidirectional word mapping system - MyWordz® - with mapped One, Two, Three and Away! stories to show parents and teachers how to screen upstream and prevent reading difficulties completely, so every child learns to read for pleasure before 7. Each word shows the phoneme (speech sound) value as well as the graphemes.
No more ‘Wait to Fail’. Don’t wait. Eight is too late, if taught in school, to prevent reading difficulties and anxiety.

MySpeekie® was recognised with an Innovate UK Unlocking Potential Award, which provided mentoring and business-development support to help bring this world-first one-screen AAC technology to market.

MyWordz® with MySpeekie® is the world’s first tool that makes words fully visible. Children can type sounds to see spellings, or type spellings to hear sounds. It works as a neuro-inclusive literacy tool and a one-screen AAC for non-speaking children.
