WIZ Words is a phonics learn to read, spell and write card resource, that is a home-grown product.<\/p>\n

Created and Designed in Buninyong, and printed in Australia, this resource is available worldwide and is endorsed by Sounds-Write UK.<\/p>\n

Owner and Director of Shine Learning, Miranda Donald, created Wiz Words after finding a lack of engaging resources for children to learn to spell, read and write, when using a systematic, phonics approach.<\/p>\n

With the resurgence of phonics instruction in Victorian Schools, Wiz Words is a fantastic support for any student, as it reinforces many aspects of reading, spelling and writing.<\/p>\n

The resource is endorsed by Sounds-Write UK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

” I wanted to create a resource that families, schools and educational practices could use and I have made Wiz Words easy to follow and easy to use. Flash cards rely on memory, whereas Wiz Words teaches the skills of phonic awareness, segmenting and then blending sounds to make words,” she said.<\/p>\n

For over two years now, Wiz Words has been used in schools, small groups, intervention settings and used by speech therapist and home-schools.<\/p>\n
