What is Letterland?

Letterland is the most child-friendly, multisensory way of teaching children how to read, write and spell. Letterland was created by Lyn Wendon in England over 20 years ago. She was looking for a way to bring the alphabet alive and help children understand how it works. The secret of its worldwide success lies in its use of special ‘pictogram’characters which were designed to represent the sound each letter makes: Click here to go to the Letterland England website.

There are characters and stories to explain the lower case alphabet shapes, upper case shapes, blends and digraphs.

One of the secrets of Letterland’s success is that this imaginary place makes it possible to teach all the difficult information about written language through stories. These stories entertain children as they carry home the information. There are no boring rules and exceptions. Instead, Letterland characters like Annie Apple, Bouncy Ben and Clever Cat make children aware of the sounds letters make, and show how letters interact with each other in predictable ways.
