The Fitzroy Program works very well for children with learning difficulties including dyslexia. Thousands of Australian schools have invested in our teaching materials, for use across their mainstream and specialised classrooms. The Fitzroy Readers are logical and systematic. Students need only learn the sounds of letters and they can read a vocabulary – including many words they have never seen. Since phonics methods teach students to sound out words, this makes it far easier to remember the correct placement of letters in words than it is with other systems. To spell a word correctly, you just need to sound it out from left to right. The brain learns to move from left to right - not to jump around the text.The Fitzroy Program is gradual. This creates an environment where learners readily understand what they are being taught, because no step in the learning process is ever too great. Because of their regular successes, they will grow in reading confidence.
