Enrolment bar · example statusesThe two statuses are copied from the banner on your current home page as examples. They are meant to be changed each term.
Type, colour and logo · recommendationsHeadings are Montserrat, your brand font. Body text is Lexend, a recommendation: it is designed for reading ease, which suits this audience, and your brief invited web typography suggestions. All four of your palette colours are used; the two darker greens are derived from them so text and buttons meet contrast standards. A lighter variant is easy if these feel heavy. The "JL" circle is a placeholder for your existing logo.
Hero · from the briefYour headline, subline and both buttons, straight from the brief. The word "sound" is marked with phonics sound buttons: a dot when one letter makes the sound, a line when two or more do. Does this match how you mark sounds in lessons? The arch would hold a real photo of you teaching.

Recognition · "They understand my child"Uses the exact question from your brief, then your six signs. A parent should nod along before they read a word about services.
Does this sound familiar?

My child is bright and capable, so why is reading and spelling so difficult?

We teach children how words work and give them reliable strategies they can use independently.

  • Guesses words rather than sounding them out
  • Struggles to remember sounds or spelling patterns
  • Avoids reading, or finds it slow and tiring
  • Finds spelling, or longer words, hard
  • Has dyslexia, or you suspect it
  • Is losing confidence as a learner

There is something we can do to help.

Key message · interactiveYour core idea, shown rather than told. Each word splits into its sounds. The example words are ours; we would choose the final set with you. Content mirrors the "Key Concepts" on your current Lessons page.
More than tutoring

We teach children what to do when they don't know a word.

Instead of guessing, children learn how words work and get reliable strategies they can use on their own.

Pick a word a child might get stuck on

Guessing

Sounding it out, the Structured Literacy way

one letter, one soundtwo or more letters, one sound
Literacy skills

Explicit, systematic, evidence-based

Blending, segmenting and the code behind English spelling, taught step by step.

Confidence

Warm, positive, encouraging

Reliable strategies children can use independently, taught in a way that builds confidence.

Services · micro-groups leadYour brief asks for micro-groups to get much more prominence, so they take the largest card. Status pills replace the old banner and are easy to update each term; the statuses shown are copied from your current site as examples. One thing to confirm: your Lessons page says online lessons run on Zoom and your FAQ says Google Meet, so the card just says "online".

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Nikki.

My own experience supporting my son with dyslexia was a major reason behind establishing Just Literacy.

I've been a primary school teacher for more than 20 years. When my son was finally diagnosed with dyslexia, Structured Literacy changed everything for him, in his reading and in his confidence. I've since completed extensive professional learning in Structured Literacy.
