Introducing the Steps software programme!

Steps is a literacy software programme which can be customized for any learner or school. It is suitable for learners from 5 to adult and is designed to support the NZ curriculum.

It is designed to cater for learners with difficulties, such as dyslexia or dyspraxia, but it is equally effective with any learner who needs a boost to their literacy skills. It can also be used for general literacy support, whole class teaching, ESOL and extension.

Key Features

  • Multi-sensory, fun and highly effective
  • Extensive wordbanks covering sight vocabulary, spelling rules/patterns, word families, topic lists
  • Facility to add and record your own lists or even complete courses
  • Facility to add Maori words (macrons enabled)
  • Strong emphasis on language development (also suitable for ESOL!)
  • Masses of reinforcement including games and comprehensive selection of printable resources (produce your own teaching materials!)

Feedback from users indicates how effective Steps is, whether used on its own or to support our workbook-based courses, First Steps and Steps to Literacy.
