Success For All The Success for All Literacy programme is based on extensive research into co-operative learning and offers an innovative and unique approach towards teaching children to read and write. There is an emphasis on prevention and early intervention to respond to any child's learning problems and avoid early reading failure. We provide a synthetic approach to teaching phonics in the early years, which we believe is the ignition to all reading and writing.
