A step-by-step systematic synthetic phonics and multi-sensory language programme.
For students with dyslexia or those looking to boost reading & spelling.PARENTS
“My child has to work so hard to recall words for weekly spelling tests, it’s stressful for us all, they rarely get all the words right and they usually forget them when writing. Their confidence has taken a hit.”
SCHOOLS & TUTORS
“Children in our school haven’t had a Dyslexia diagnosis but need intervention. Some haven’t passed the phonics checklist”
“I have KS2 and KS3 children who are struggling to read age appropriate text and spell.”
ADULTS
“I can get by reading but my spelling is poor, it’s always really held me back. I was never diagnosed at school but I’m pretty sure I am dyslexic and now I’m struggling at work.”
CodeBreakers® is more than simply phonics. It is a systematic synthetic phonics programme (SSP). In July 2021, the UK government announced the Early Reading Framework, advocating the use of SSP programmes in schools.
CodeBreakers® focuses on multi-sensory learning opportunities and over learning, to ensure learning ‘sticks’. CodeBreakers® works on learning patterns through logic, word morphology, language, vocabulary and analytical skills. It develops transferable skills and creates learners who are independent and confident readers and spellers.
CodeBreakers® can be used with students of all ages; primary, secondary and post-16.
CodeBreakers has been found to be successful and engaging for all ages.
We consider it’s one of the best dyslexia programmes, as it is based on over 15 years experience as a dyslexia specialist. It brings together best practice in one resource, simultaneously targeting reading and spelling skills in one dyslexia activity workbook.
Don’t just take our word for it. This video, by a teacher and parent, explains the benefits of CodeBreakers and the impact on her child.

CodeBreakers® Success Stories
Learners start tuition with CodeBreakers at all ages, some are primary or secondary school age, others are mature students.
We caught up with some of our learners to see how they were getting on.
“Since leaving school I got a place at the local football team academy. It was a two-year course and I now play and train in semi-professional football and completed a Level 3 Diploma in Sports and Coaching. I worked part-time saved and bought my first car and passed my driving test. After finishing my diploma, I decided I wanted a full-time job. I was successful at the interview working for a large leisure company and now work full time in housekeeping and maintenance”
Student, Staffordshire, Age 18
“After leaving school with a negative view of education, I later went on to work in the Youth Service. I’ve worked for many years as a volunteer with St John’s Ambulance and as an instructor. I have also worked as an ambulance technician for many years. I’ve now completed a university degree to qualify as a paramedic”.
Mature student, Staffordshire, Age 47
Our working mum in Derbyshire had been attending adult education but wanted a more personal approach to learning. Her aim was to be able to support her child with reading and spelling, once they became of school age. She’s now writing more complex sentences and reading with good flow and is passing on good skills for reading and spelling development to her child.
Working Mum, Derbyshire, Age 37
“I’ve successfully completed GCSEs which has now led to a Foundation Diploma in Art after completing the first year of a BTEC with a double star distinction and year 2 with a B. I’m now looking to complete further study in surface pattern design and complete work experience in 2 of the top pottery manufacturing companies in Stoke.
Student, Staffordshire, Age 18
“My GCSEs results were much higher than anticipated which resulted in attending Level 3 Sport Course at College, I’m now in year 2 and considering apprenticeship options”.
Student Staffordshire Age 17
“At the moment I am looking at post-16 options and considering a BTEC in Law and an additional accountancy course”.
