Foundational Literacy Skills: Years 7-9
A fresh approach to spelling, grammar and vocabulary – what English teachers actually need.
“Looking at our NAPLAN results, our grammar and punctuation and our spelling results aren’t quite where we’d like them to be. But having a program to support that is sort of what we’re looking for. While not something that takes over the curriculum and becomes everything that you do, just something that sits alongside what we’re already doing.”

We believe that every student can succeed in English. But right now, secondary teachers tell me that primary school gaps are holding students back, affecting more than just NAPLAN results. That’s why we created Lingo: a practical, bite-sized solution – automatically addressing individual gaps in spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Lingo applies proven principles from the Science of Reading and the Science of Learning to target each student’s literacy gaps with precisions and efficiency. Our whitepaper lays out the challenge, the research, and the solution – get your copy here.
