History
When I was developing Letterland, the children in my classes became my
best helpers. They had such good imaginations! Talking and working with
them helped me to see how I could devise a system that they would
really love and understand. I believe their input is one of the reasons
why Letterland is such a child-friendly place and why it now appeals to
children all around the world.

I am happy to welcome you to this special edition of Letterland for
teaching English. It is a well researched fact that children learn best when
they are enjoying their lessons. I hope you and your children will love using the
Letterland songs, the story logic and activities for teaching the otherwise dry
facts that all children need for learning to read and write confidently in English.
How does Letterland work?
• Covers all 44 sounds • Letter sound and shape
• Word building
• Vocabulary & language topics
By translating the full range of dry phonics facts into engaging stories, children are motivated to listen, to think and to learn. These stories explain letter shapes and sounds, allowing
children to quickly progress to word building, reading and writing.
Story: Sammy Snake loves to hiss (‘sss’), but the Hat Man hates noise, so hehushes Sammy with a ‘sh’ sound!
• Speaking & listening• Alliteration & symbol/sound links• Phonemic awareness• Songs and chants• Arts and crafts• Imaginative play & creative writing
Story: When Harry Hat Man has a chance to start a name, he is so happy
that he does a handstand. He still whispers his usual sound, ‘hhh…’ and
he even keeps his hat on!
“ ‘sh’ Sammy!Noise gives
me a horribleheadache!”
