Speech Pathologist, Vic
This course was my light bulb moment when it comes to teaching students to read! Everything just made so much sense and had so much research behind it. The trainers are very helpful throughout and have supported us all thoroughly.
Teacher- WA
A thorough and structured literacy program for teaching reading and spelling. There were plenty of videos to watch and practise with. The trainers allowed many chances for discussion via video conferences and on the provided discussion board. Very busy, but very worth it.
Teacher-Vic
The online Sounds-Write course was very in depth and flexible and I could not recommend it enough to those who are working and wishing to add the qualification at the same time. I acquired a lot of new knowledge and skills and am very excited to integrate it into my work.
Teacher, Vic
I loved everything about this course! The content, the way it was presented. Completing the course online was also a very positive experience,. As someone who had not had a lot of experience teaching those early reading skills, I now feel very confident about how I can systematically teach reading and spelling within my context.
Teacher- WA

Teacher- WA
