Learn English with Letterland
Message from the Author
When I was developing Letterland, the children in my classes became my
best helpers. They had such good imaginations! Talking and working with
them helped me to see how I could devise a system that they would
really love and understand. I believe their input is one of the reasons
why Letterland is such a child-friendly place and why it now appeals to
children all around the world.

Message from the Author


I am happy to welcome you to this special edition of Letterland for
teaching English. It is a well researched fact that children learn best when
they are enjoying their lessons. I hope you and your children will love using the
Letterland songs, the story logic and activities for teaching the otherwise dry
facts that all children need for learning to read and write confidently in English.
