You want your child to feel confident, capable and excited to learn.
Over my eleven years as a junior school classroom teacher, I’ve experienced how the traditional 9-3 school environment doesn’t always provide enough repetition and exposure to key skills for every student.
This challenge is something I know all too well, as I've watched some students struggle to keep up, despite their immense effort.
That’s why I created Word Whizz - to give kiwi families access to self-paced and research-backed literacy support. These hubs are designed based on everything I’ve learned in the classroom and through specialist training, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to gain literacy confidence.
No teaching experienced required.
Word Whizz guides learning through four hubs, from foundational alphabet concepts to advanced literacy skills.
Your child will:
- Build spelling and writing skills
- Improve reading fluency and accuracy
- Understand sounds and patterns
- Read with greater confidence

Why parents choose Word Whizz
Not only has it helped my child build confidence in reading and writing, but it has also given me the ability to support her at home.
As a parent, it gave me a better understanding of Structured Literacy and how I can support my child with what she's learning.
This is a really well thought out literacy programme, which is beneficial for those children who need extra support on top of their regular schooling.
The workshops were easy to follow, and my son was proud of how he was able to follow the instructions of the task and complete them.
My child has enjoyed the workshops as they are interactive and positive, as a parent I am also learning. It is also rewarding to see progress.
A wonderful resource which I highly recommend. Easy to navigate and I would recommend this as a resource to supplement learning.
This literacy platform through Word Whizz will hugely help and benefit young learners and the online learning works great for busy families.
It was great to have video explanations of correct letter formation and sounds plus we could pause or redo sections if needed.
