The new MyWordz® Writing Framework builds on phonics knowledge and supports children as they move into writing with meaning and confidence. With mapped texts, high-frequency word support, independent spelling tools, and low-prep classroom resources, The Village With Three Corners provides a complete foundation for writing and helps foster reading for pleasure in Reception.
 

I am Miss Emma, known as the Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®, and I have adapted the series for children who think and learn differently, and who are often what I call Spiky Writers. I am passionate about child-led early mark making through play. The Village With Three Corners is so much more than a series of books. Children act out the stories with the Story People, engage in role play, and mark making is often spontaneous as they write shopping lists for the village shop or letters to post to the families.
 

I have fond memories of my mum teaching with the books and to this day people tell me she was their favourite teacher! As my son had no interest in learning to read, she invited him to visit her every morning while she was visiting us in Spain. He was five at the time. She started him on the pre-readers, and by the end of the week he was reading the introductory readers without help and needed no further instruction. Not every child is able to do that. He had great phonemic awareness and working memory, and a very mathematical brain. He could recognise the words easily but also used phonological recoding to self-teach. As an active little boy who never sat still, he had no interest in choosing to read, but at least he could read. Had I developed the tech back then, I know he would have been far more interested. I also wish I had the series at home, and the Story People, when he was younger as I think he would have been more interested in learning to read before sport took over his life. 

I think this series will really appeal to families who are home educating their child, particularly those with children who have special educational needs. I am working to get the books into libraries so that parents do not have to buy them, and I have set up My SLCN CIC to offer the tech to children who need it most, without charge.
