Next Generation Learners live in a world vastly different from the one their parents and teachers grew up in.
 

Emma Hartnell-Baker explains:
 

"Children today are growing up in a world that is evolving at an incredible pace, making it challenging to keep up with new developments. At The Reading Hut, we are developing technology that facilitates orthographic mapping, enabling children to learn to read much faster than ever before—so they can dive into reading about what excites them. We can’t afford to spend years teaching phonics in isolation from comprehension; they’ll lose interest. It’s crucial for children to experience the joy and meaning of reading early on. We also know that teachers want to explore rich content, not phonics in isolation.""

‘Miss Emma’ adds: "This is also why we use the 1, 2, 3 and Away! series. Young children love the characters and, for the first time, can truly understand the letters and sounds while focusing on the meaning of the words and how the characters interact within the developing stories. When the books were originally published, the code wasn’t made explicit—this is a game-changer."
 

This innovative approach not only enhances comprehension but enables children to begin reading much earlier than previously thought possible. Buy the book 'Word Mapping Mastery' to learn how!
