Many of the traditional approaches:
Don’t cover all the bases Aren’t structured or multi-sensory enough Don’t provide enough reinforcement for
dyslexic learners
“Like putting petrol into a diesel engine” Laughton King
What can we do about it?

Research shows:A non-impaired reader needs only 4-10 exposures to a word to fix it into long-term memory
A dyslexic learner may need 500 – 1300 exposures!
Memory implications

Parent FeedbackMy daughter uses your product at school and couldn't wait
to use it at home last night. Your product is a fantastic learning tool and it works very effectively.
Paula EliottWow I have just had a play, Steps is awesome! Our son has
just been diagnosed with severe dyslexia, this is the first program I have seen that seems to really get how dyslexics think and what they need. So helpful to have things like days of the week and the memory training. Well done, and thank you!

Maungawhau School
We are thrilled with the Steps programme at Maungawhau
School. We began the programme part way through term two
and reassessed all the students at the end of term. Some
students had moved over a year in less than two months. The
results are amazing but more importantly the students are
loving the programme and enthusiastically attend sessions.

Continued……The programme is very comprehensive and helps to fill the
gaps identified in psych reports, e.g. memory and
processing difficulties, without us having to buy a range of
different software and specialist services. It is incredibly
user friendly and it is easy to closely monitor students’
progress and particular areas of strength and need, and to
tailor it to meet these specific needs.
