The most incredibly awesome reading and spelling program ever!

Nessy is an interactive system of learning based on 40 years of practical teaching by specialist teachers at the Bristol Dyslexia Centre. Nessy follows a tried and tested approach that combines structured incremental phonics linked with language, writing skills and vocabulary development, to create highly effective multisensory learning. Nessy enables students in ages 5-16 of all abilities to read, write and spell with confidence.

‘Nessy is the best literacy resource I have come across in over 20 years of teaching.’ Stuart Pattison, TEEM evaluation

‘A brilliant teaching and learning tool’ Schoolzone

‘Clear organisation enables Nessy to offer far more in a single CD-Rom than has ever been achieved before.’ John Bald, TES review

Nessy is ideal for teachers who need to provide a complete literacy scheme for students with dyslexia. The extensive resources are organised into 10 colour-coded islands, which progress from letter sounds to advanced multi-syllabic words.

The programme integrates planning, group monitoring, record keeping and assessments. Teachers are guided with lesson plans, teaching tips and strategies for learning. Students are encouraged to mark their own work and take on more responsibility for their own learning, playing games, watching rules and completing interactive worksheets. Their efforts are rewarded with Nessy Nuggets, which can be used at an interactive Nessy Fairground.

The game based learning has proved extremely effective in addressing the needs of disaffected students, motivating and building self-esteem.

The programme includes an A4 printed teaching manual full of information about dyslexia. It has proved successful with EBD, EAL, Down’s Syndrome, Asperger’s as well as mainstream students.
