Express Readers will help your classroom, your school, or your district teach every child to read.


Simple Words Books are chapter books for older children on a wide variety of engaging, age-appropriate topics.

The Word Wasp and Hornet Literacy Primer were developed to meet the needs of students with moderate to severe reading and spelling problems, including dyslexia.

It couldn’t be more simple: A student needs a Wasp or Hornet,
an exercise book, and a pencil. A coach needs scrap paper, a pencil and a little patience. The programme can be used daily or weekly.


The Dog on a Log Book series helps kids, including kids with dyslexia, learn to read.

They are sound out books that start with just a few phonics rules. DOG ON A LOG Books follow a Structured Literacy/Orton-Gillingham based phonics sequence. Gameboards, flashcards, and other activities can be downloaded from our Printables Pages.
