About The Centre for Literacy

The most important predictor of success in reading (decoding) and spelling (encoding) is Phonemic Awareness. Phonemic Awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate the individual speech sounds in words; in other words, it is the ability to match speech to print.

This is the basis of our literacy program.
