Defining the Problem

Meet the Founder – From Illiteracy to Author and Educator

Our founder’s journey from struggling with literacy to becoming an author and educator inspires our mission. (Link this to your “Meet Pat” page if available.)

Who does Easy Spelling help?

• Children who are behind with spelling.
• Children with learning disabilities.
• Those for whom English is not the home language.
• Adults who would like to enhance their literacy skills.
  
  

What these learners are dissatisfied with?

• Frustrated with standard spelling instruction.
• Embarrassed in class.
• Considered a waste of a teacher's time.
• Aspirations unfulfilled.
• Methods (e.g.: TAFE, etc.) do not work for them.
  
  

Facts about this issue:

• The schooling system fails to cater to non-average students (they never have).
• Teachers are over-worked, poorly trained in special needs, and do not have time to care for remedial students.
• Teachers are not supported by governing bodies. Refer to Opinion Piece, Generational Poverty Click Here

What Makes Our Spelling Course Unique

We are one of the few genuinely interactive online spelling and reading courses that offer:

• interactive questions and answers.
• e-Dictation.
• e-Reading.
• videos.
• audios.
• a text reader for those that have very poor reading skills.
• clearly written teaching instruction.
  
  

What is the reason behind our actions?

The Jenny Lamond Literacy Foundation (TJLLF)

The TJLLF (incorporating Easy Spelling) is a Social Enterprise foundation for the dissemination and tutoring of the 'Jenny Lamond Method'. Like all businesses it must remain viable to pay salaries and expenses. However, profits beyond that are not distributed to the shareholders; instead, they are used for supporting the teaching of English spelling and reading in disadvantaged communities worldwide.

For every fifth paid registrations, we offer a free course to a disadvantaged child or adult. With available funds, we also train tutors who can work in those underprivileged communities, delivering spelling where it is most needed.

If you are a part of a community of disadvantaged people where learning English spelling will help career development and self-esteem, please contact us to explore how we can help your community, free of charge.

Lastly, Jenny Lamond dedicated most of her teaching career to ongoing research into spelling methods. The TJLLF is a research organisation that focuses on the latest techniques to enhance spelling literacy.

We continue Jenny Lamond's work by offering spelling and reading support to both children and adults.
