The HF Colour Coded method provides students with a visual memory method to become fluent in reading and spelling. Alongside this proven technique, model texts are also provided where students are given opportunity to learn relevant sentence structures to be successful in a given genre. The booklet explains how to use colours to support dyslexics read and spell both basic and advanced words. Visual memory is strengthened by using colour coded letters and syllables for students to copy and draw. Unlike traditional phonics, the Colour Code Method is fun and creative – students are encouraged to draw words in a style that suits them. However, the method can be use alongside traditional phonics. The method is ideal for students who struggle with phonics and provides a method that will improve engagement and progress. It is based on research into the reasons dyslexics struggle and how visual information supports them. The booklets are also suitable for students with additional needs who struggle to read and write. Alongside the explanation booklet, you will receive free workbooks that use the colour code method based on the phonics programme!

The pack aims to support dyslexic students in improving their Discussion Writing. It contains an outline of the lessons, a series of unique, visual spelling activities, a visual sentence activity and a model text. The unit finishes with an independent writing task. The use of the copy - cover - spell technique has proved ineffective for dyslexic students. Instead, I have developed a unique approach to spelling that involves drawing and colouring the words and using colours to demarcate syllables. It is a simple, yet powerful approach. Often dyslexic students struggle to structure sentences in writing due to memory processing issues. The pack contains a visual, sentence sorting activity. Finally, there is a model text included so that students can see the key words and sentences in context. The unit is a sure way to support dyslexic students!
