From Beginner to Advanced: The Word Cracking Literacy Resources
At Word Cracking, we recognise that every learner’s literacy journey is unique. That’s why our resources are designed to meet students where they are, whether they’re just beginning to grasp foundational skills or advancing into complex morphological understanding. Here’s how our approach supports learners at every stage of their progression:
Pre-Literacy — Building the Foundations
Who It’s For:
Students starting their literacy journey or needing extra support through a simplified, structured approach to foundational skills.
Our Solution:
The Literacy Support Kit (LSK) provides a carefully designed approach to develop:
Phonemic Awareness: Identifying and working with individual sounds in spoken words.
Basic Letter Recognition: Associating letters with sounds and understanding their purpose.
Handwriting Readiness: Developing motor skills through simplified handwriting activities.
These resources are specifically tailored for learners living with dyslexia, dysgraphia, intellectual difficulties, or other challenges, ensuring no child is left behind. The LSK can be used as a stand-alone solution for struggling readers, providing the resources they need to begin their literacy journey confidently, or as a supporting resource for students struggling with standard Tier 3 intervention.
Basic Literacy — Filling In Knowledge Gaps & Strengthening Skills
Who It’s For:
Students who are building their fluency and accuracy with reading, writing, and spelling but still need support in specific areas to progress confidently.
Our Solution:
Our resources work seamlessly to strengthen and reinforce:
Reading Fluency: Developing confidence in reading aloud and recognising patterns.
Spelling Strategies: Introducing techniques to tackle tricky words.
Handwriting Proficiency: Supporting neat, legible writing.
Why Choose Word Cracking?
Simplified phonics and handwriting resources: LSK fills gaps often left by other programs, addressing handwriting, phonemic awareness, and foundational reading skills.

Advanced Literacy — Morphology and Beyond

Teach the meaning and structure of morphemes (prefixes, roots, suffixes).
Build advanced vocabulary through morphological analysis.
Enhance comprehension by understanding how words work.
Develop customised lessons tailored to the learner’s progress.
