The program has been created to help dyslexic students between 5 and 16 years old to learn to read, write and spell in a fun, yet effective way. It is easy to use, gives a simple lesson structure that saves time planning and has strategies that can be used by class assistants or parents without guidance.

The highly motivational game based learning has also proved a hit with EBD, EAL, Down’s Syndrome, Asperger's and mainstream pupils.

Based on 40 years of research and practical teaching and developed for dyslexic children by specialists at the Bristol Dyslexia Centre, the Nessy Learning Programme combines a system of structured incremental phonics linked with language, writing skills and vocabulary development.

The clear, phonic based structure includes printable card games, activity sheets, mnemonics and computer games. Students can record their own words to play with the computer games, creating highly effective multi-sensory learning. The impressive graphics and game driven approach make learning fun and motivating. Successful trials have shown Nessy helps to rebuild self-confidence and improve literacy skills.

Nessy has proved extremely effective in addressing the needs of disaffected students and is so easy to use that teachers spend less time directing learning support assistants and parent assistants. The clear structure provides format, which saves time in IEP preparation.

In two pilot trials dyslexic children using this programme made on average two years academic progress per year in comparison to their non-dyslexic peers who did not use this programme. In one instance a child made 3.5 years academic progress in a year.

Teachers using Nessy have been highly commended by school inspectors for the quality of their provision and planning.

I ordered the Nessy program for my 2 children (aged 9 and 5) to use whilst having 3 months off school. My 9 year old already uses Nessy at school and raves about it. I was not dissappointed. The many levels of learning and progression means both children can easily 'play' on Nessy and not realise they are learning. They both ask everyday if they can play again and it is a joy to see them engrossed in their tasks. I had many questions before I ordered the full Nessy Learning Program and I always received very prompt, honest and informative replies. The CD Rom was recieved within 48 hours of ordering. I have been very impressed all round and just wish Nessy had a Maths program I could order too! "

My daughter was introuduced to NESSY at her school and pestered me to get it for our home PC. After much searching I found it was available from schoolteachingresources.com. I have to say my daughters reading and spelling has advanced enormously since, and would certainly recommend Nessy.

The pupils at our school in Hampshire (Chiltern Tutorial School for dyslexic children) absolutely adore the games both on Nessy GamesPlayer and on the Nessy Learning Programme. They spend much of their free time playing the games in order that their Nessy can grow and grow. Many of the children have bought the games CD to use at home because they are able to put their weekly spelling lists onto the games. Many children find this way of learning their vocabulary and spellings great fun and they are very successful. The Nessy Learning Programme is an interactive, multimedia resource that teaches children of all abilities and ages to learn to read write and spell. The children at Chiltern have gained confidence and they have great enthusiasm for all the games and resources. There are 120 lessons which follow a structured, phonic approach and all the lessons are supported by printable card games, activity sheets, mnemonics and computer games. Simply put, Nessy provides a fun way to learn. The Learning Programme is based on ten islands. These islands represent ten levels of achievement. Each island has ten lessons which come with worksheets, card games, interactive games and simple stories. We use all of these resources which help the children to develop specific skills in reading, spelling and auditory processing.Our classroom teachers didn't require specialist training as assessment activities direct them to the appropriate starting point for individual students. Recording sheets can be printed off for completion and learning is cross referenced. The product covers many learning objectives. It is a standalone product but could be incorporated into word, sentence and text level literacy work and is a brilliant teaching and learning tool. Colleagues have used the resource and they are all in agreement regarding its value. There are many learning strategies and mnemonics used through the product to help children learn and remember difficult spellings and root word extensions. The 'Monster Words' proved very useful highlighting the difficult spellings 'ought' and 'aught' with mnemonics to aid memory whilst prefixes and suffixes are also focussed upon in detail through the Heads and Tails activities. Printed work is of a good standard, in colour, with choices for how to use the card games. There were no glitches with the program, installation and navigation was extremely easy and the children were using it within minutes.
