Lyn Wendon, Author and creator of Letterland

When I was developing Letterland, the idea ofreplacing dry facts and rules with brief storiescame directly from the children I was teaching.The stories provided the children with all theclues they need for remembering the abstractletters’ shapes, sounds and typical behaviour inwords.

I believe this is why teachers enjoy deliveringthe facts, children enjoy retelling them, andparents enjoy supporting their child’s learningat home.

Now over 40 years on, it has been gratifying towatch the system spread across Englishspeaking countries and into 110 countriesaround the world as more and more childrenlearn to read and spell in English as anadditional language with Letterland. I alsotreasure endorsements from parents, teachersand respected academics, including those onthis page.

Best wishes for 2012

“You have uncovered some importantprinciples of learning supported byresearch findings in your effort to developLetterland as an effective instructional tool.I am very impressed.”

“Very clearly, Letterland offers a systematicProgram of instruction for alphabetic andphonological knowledge that is critical forthe early stages of reading development....Researches across the world haverepeatedly found that these components(in Letterland) are the literal building blocksthat lead to reading success.”

Robber Red finally got caught for stealingthings so he was sent to prison. Everyonewas pleased - until they found out he hadmade a robot to run round Letterland forhim! Now Red Robot is behaving just asbadly as Robber Red did!

Letterland’s Wicked Water Witch wasalways making spells but one day sheaccidentally turned herself into a walrus!Now you’ll see wet old Walter Walrus inthe water wells.

Vicky Violet loves violets and haspromised to look after all the littlevases of violets we find in words.

Can I Use The Classic And New Range Together?

Yes! The Teacher’s Guides are compatible and the new artwork is still instantlyrecognisable as Letterland! In trialling the new characters we have found thatchildren readily accept the changes. For example, they understand that Classicmaterials about Robber Red take place before he got caught and Red Robot tookover.

You can find simple transition stories explaining the changes on page 185 of thenew Letterland Teacher’s Guide or download them from the Letterland website at:

What

isLetterland?

How does it work?

Letter Sounds

Letterland uses a synthetic phonics approach (synthesising sounds into words) in a multisensoryway that fires children's imaginations and uses their multiple intelligences. It's more fun and mucheasier to remember that “Harry Hat Man whispers 'hhh' in words because he hates noise”, than thebare fact that 'aitch' makes the sound 'hhh'.

Children happily relate to characters like Harry Hat Man, Bouncy Ben, Clever Cat and friends, moving quickly and effectively fromlearning sounds and blending them to becoming established readers.

Letter Shapes and handwriting

Letterland builds-in visual and verbal cues thatpreserve letter-shape integrity, prompt correctformation, give reasons for capital letters and reducereversals and confusions between similar letters likeb/d, p/q, s/z, n/u, m/w.

When Harry Hat Man starts a name,he is so happy that he does a

handstand with his hairy hat on!

3

Harry Hat Man’s Handwriting Song

Hurry from the Hat Man’s headdown to his heel on the ground.

Go up and bend his knee overso he’ll hop while he makes his sound.

What is Letterland?

Letterland is a unique, phonics-basedapproach to teaching reading, writing andspelling to 3-8 year olds. Its information-rich Letterland characters transform plainblack letter shapes into child-friendlypictograms characters who live in animaginary place called Letterland.

By translating the full range of dryphonic facts into engaging stories,children are motivated to listen, tothink and to learn. These storiesexplain letter shapes and sounds andquickly develop into word building,reading and writing.

Multisensory LearningMultisensory Learning: Letterland activates every learning channel, linking music, movement, songs, art,craft, games, role-play, rhyme, and social interaction directly to letter knowledge through the Letterlandcharacters.

Research based literacyUsing characters and actions to teach phonics is supported byscientific research (see www.letterland.com for full details). TheLetterland system is in-line with research on memory and the waywe learn.

Each Letterland character is a predictable personality living in arealistic environment filled with alliterative objects. Byintegrating phonics with life experience, they provide childrenwith a systematic and motivating framework for learning all 44sounds and their spellings and for developing full literacy:

“The message I want toconvey: Letterland works!”

Bonnie MacGregorESL Teacher, 1st Grade

Toronto, Canada

“Letterland is themost effective of all the

synthetic phonics programs forchildren that I have observed and

have worked. This program is not onlyextremely well-thought out, it is highly

imaginative and distinctly and usefully memorable.”

Bob Schlagal, Ph.D. Department of Language, Reading &

Exceptionalities, AppalachianState University

“I thank you for your program.You have made teaching language

arts an adventure that I would never haveexperienced if I had not had the great fortuneof stumbling upon your program chatting with

an Australian teacher on a 1997 coach tour of Europe.”

One little person has told me that he'd rather goto Letterland than to Disneyland!”

Terri Schwartz, Year 1 TeacherManitoba, British Columbia

“For me, as a literacy specialist and

a special educator, I find it themost useful phonics program that

I have ever used.”
