To Whom It May Concern,

This letter is written in support of the Startinz Literacy Programme which helps literacy learning by

using colours to demonstrate words grammatical purposes. The concept is simple yet practical and

can be used with a wide range of resources in order to help;

• Students developing a grammatical awareness of their own language.

• Special needs students.

• Second language learners.

• Adult numeracy and literacy learning.

By utilising SaaS systems, the Startinz Literacy Programme will create a strong learning tool which;

• Is a fun and easy way to grasp words grammatical meanings.

• Helps identify students with visual problems.

• Takes the ‘hurdle’ out of second language learning.

• Can be relatively easily applied within an app. using game playing visuals to create an

incidental learning environment.

• Helps students develop their awareness of language with colour coding.

• Provides a formal structure to learning words grammatical purposes.

• Enables student centred learning.

• Percentage of revenue used for research at Educational Institutes.

• Learnt outside the classroom reducing teacher input, increasing students learning time.

• Enable improvement of comprehension and composition of written texts through an

understanding of syntax by colour coding.

• Develop meta-cognitive awareness of language with colour coding.

I see tremendous potential for the Startinz Literacy Programme being a tool to enhance the

continued development of literacy learning both locally and globally and look forward to seeing its

inception.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Kay
