How to help children learn to read and spell with trainertext visual phonics (TVP)



The new path to success with literacy

We have spent the last ten+ years re-engineering the way a child learns to read, using a deeper neural understanding of the reading process.

You will find trainertext visual phonics (TVP) is different and gets far quicker and more consistent results than the older methods. Using TVP the child can start decoding words with confidence and then begin reading rich content for fun, in just days.

There are no tedious phonic rules to learn or bizarre reading system-style books to read. The child is actively learning to read by reading. The trainertext makes that possible.

This site is devoted to helping you to understand TVP and start using it with the free resources you will find here. We also give deep insights into the 9 main possible reasons for reading difficulty and how to overcome them. Our mission is 100% success.

Listen to these experienced teachers discussing what they have seen since switching to TVP:

Reviews of Trainertext

“It has been brilliant for Elsa. She is now in the top reading group in her class and reads for pleasure – FOR PLEASURE!!! We are really thrilled and extremely grateful for what [TVP] has done for her and she has achieved what we set out for – and more. With so many thanks to you and your team for this brilliant programme.”
Check out more firsthand experiences of TVP on our Reviews page.

Academic Research

TVP has been independently tested through a randomized control trial of its use in the Easyread System. A published peer-review journal article found that children who were 2 years behind, caught up to the national standard after 120 short daily lessons (about 30 instructional hours).

A word from david

” Currently a staggering one in six children never learns to read confidently. And I know how that feels because I was nearly one of them!

We estimate from OECD data that around a further 30% of children are held back from achieving their full potential by weak literacy skills.

We have spent the past decade perfecting new methods to change those terrible numbers forever. Accepting the status quo should not be an option for anyone involved.

I hope you will find TVP interesting and useful. Please judge it by testing it or talking to someone who has. The easy way to test it without risk is to put it in front of a child who is not seeing good progress with the older methods.

You should then see a breakthrough in just 60-90 sessions.
