Letterland

Letterland is an imaginary place where each letter is a character built around its shape (pictogram) with a name that uses the sound the letter makes (alliteration). 

These are two very important pieces of the puzzle that children need in order to begin to learn to read.

Our Letterland classes teach phonics to pre-schoolers (the year before school) using a story based approach. The story logic really engages the children and helps them to retain the concepts long term. The best thing is that our classes are multi-sensory and activate every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, music, song, craft and games.

The children cannot wait to come to Letterland each week and even the parents learn new things! 

Enrolments begin in late October for the following year. Classes for the year begin early March and end in the first week of December. We have a break during the regular school holidays.

Letterland is a cumulative program with skills, strategies and knowledge built on each week. 

Get in touch now! It will be the best thing you do for your preschooler.

Grateful for this class!

December 4, 2024

Could not recommend these Letterland classes enough in preparation for school. Very grateful to Tanya and Ann-Maree who provided a supportive and caring environment for my daughter who is shy to participate, yet loved coming to learn each week! Will be back with my younger daughter.

Loved it

October 27, 2024

My little girl went to Letterland for the entire year prior to starting school and absolutely loved it. It was extremely helpful in preparing her for the classroom and making the transition to school. All of the activities were super engaging, fun and informative and I can’t believe how far ahead she was when starting compared to her peers. I would highly recommend it.

Letterland has been such an enjoyable and educational experience for my son. His growth has been amazing to see and it has helped a lot with his listening, patience and confidence!

So so happy

September 2, 2024

My son’s confidence with letters and writing has grown tremendously with Miss Tanya and Miss Anne Marie. I now feel much more at ease with him starting school next year. We look forward to guessing what the letter will be each week and he is excited to go home and show his dad his homework. A great program in the lead up to school. Will definitely enrol my two daughters when it’s their turn!

We love Letterland!!

My son is starting school in Jan and he loves books but not really writing. now he loves letterland and reading and is giving writing his best shot!! it’s incredible how engaged Tanya can get the kids to be and how fun and exciting it all is. My son looks forward to it every week and I love seeing him learn and am learning how to support his learning experience. Fantastic course for building confidence and understanding before he starts school next year. Thanks so much!

Absolutely brilliant

August 29, 2024

Letterland is absolutely brilliant. My daughter and I look forward to this class every week. An incredible foundation to lay, before starting kindergarten. Watching the whole class grow over the year has been a joy to watch. It has exceeded my expectations of a 4yo. Tanya and Anne Marie are such wonderful teachers, that the kids respect and love. I have also found it very educational and will not hesitate signing my other daughter up when she’s off age.

Highly recommend!!

My 4.5 year old son started letterland this year and it’s been the most wonderful experience for him (and me)! He is learning so much and I can see it will give him a fantastic boost in confidence as he commences kindergarten next year. I have loved being a fly on the wall too, watching him learn and thrive!

I will definitely do the program again with my younger son.

Julia

Such an AMAZING program!

August 29, 2024

This is by far one of the best preschool programs you can enrol your child in. The way the information is taught is so digestible for little ones, the children take in so much each class. The way the program of letterland approaches the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make prepares children for early reading. We’ve seen such an improvement in our child’s ability to read/sound out words months before school starts. I HIGHLY recommend this program for your child!

Confidence booster

Both of my girls have gained so much from doing Letterland in their pre school year. They are starting kindy with confidence in phonics and a willingness to learn. Anne Marie and Tanya are wonderful, patient teachers.

Monica

Wonderful, fun learning program

August 28, 2024

This has been a wonderful, guided learning experience to do with my kids in their last year of preschool. Tanya and Anne-maree create an approachable, fun learning environment. I’m sure it will set them up with confidence for their first year of school. They are excited to do their “homework” each week and have both had the opportunity to improve pencil grip in a small learning environment. Thank you!

Laura

Highly recommend for preschoolers!

August 28, 2024

My 4 year old daughter started at Letterland this year and she has moved forward in leaps and bounds in terms of her ability to recognise, read and write letters. It has been an excellent way to prepare her for primary school and “meeting” the Letterland characters has been the highlight of her week. I recommend Letterland to all preschool aged children!

Rebecca

A reading readiness program that works!

February 11, 2023

For the last 2 years my children have learnt, laughed and made friendships that span out of the Letterland community. We love it there and recommend the lovely teachers to anyone who is looking to introduce their children to a nurturing pre school reading readiness program. Laugh & Learn is part of our family and we will continue to play and learn our way with the lovely team into the future xxx

An absolute must before school!

November 30, 2022

Not only has letterland classes taught my son about letters and sounds, but it has also prepared him for the classroom setting. He has learnt how to work independently, hold a pencil properly, follow instructions and his confidence has grown – as well as mine knowing that he will be ok starting school. He just loves Anne-Maree and her class is his favourite activity of the week. All the ladies at laugh and learn are so lovely, I will definitely be back when my youngest son is ready and look forward to being pleasantly surprised at how well he does too with the help of Laugh and Learn.

Highly recommend!!

I honestly can’t recommend this enough. My twins LOVED it and it has helped their confidence when starting school as they already had a great level of phonetic awareness. Thanks again 😊

A lifechanging experience

December 10, 2021

Before starting Letterland my son had no interest in even holding a pencil or learning a word. Within weeks he was excited about the Letterland stories, which made learning feel more like fun, and he started to show a love for stories he hadn’t before. The year has made an incredible difference to him and he has blossomed under Tanya and Ann-Maree’s lessons. I cannot recommend Letterland enough for any child, of any ability, in the year before starting school.

My son is able to sound out letters and read words and he enjoyed attending Letterland. We are very grateful to both Tanya and Ann Marie who are both wonderful teachers.

Sara

Great

October 26, 2021

This is an excellent program. Our daughter went through this program and is now thriving in kindergarten. She’s reading at year 2 level now in large part because of the head start that she gained here.

Our son also attends this program now and loves it. Not only is he learning how to read in a fun and engaging classroom, he is also learning those basic classroom skills that he needs before entering kindergarten like sitting still whilst the teacher talks, concentrating on tasks, taking turns, listening skills etc

Thank you Tanya and Anne-Maree!

Tanya and Ann-Maree are amazing teachers and my daughter has learnt so much, as well as myself with tips on teaching at home!

I can’t recommend the classes highly enough, such an amazing foundation before starting school.

I’ll be returning to take my little boy before he starts school,

Huge thank you Tanya & Ann-Maree

Thank you Tanya and Anne-Maree for making learning the alphabet so much fun! I have watched my sons confidence grow and we both love coming to our letterland class.

Amazing Preparation for Kindergarten

October 24, 2021

We’ve had two kids come through Letterland and it’s such a thorough and fun introduction to reading and writing. The kids love it, and it’s mind blowing watching the progress through the year and being able to read at the end. And also gives parents great tips on how to encourage the learning at home. It gives them great confidence going into big school.

The very best thing you can do for your child the year before school!

October 18, 2021

I have now done this program with two of my children the year before they started school. It is an unbelievably great foundation program that helps with phonics, writing and sounds, and both boys finish being able to read words and understanding word formation. I can not recommend letterland highly enough, it just makes the transition to school so much easier. Tanya and Ann Marie are absolutely amazing and the kids LOVE their classes.

Amazing class. Highly recommended

Tanya and Anne-Maree were incredible teachers that made learning really fun in a small group environment.

My son finished being able to read words – which was just remarkable.

He definitely has started primary school confident and on the right path.

I also learned a few tips to helping my son how to learn to read.

Fantastic preparation for Primary School!!!!

December 31, 2020

Such a brilliant learning step for my son, in preparation for starting Kindy in 2021! His understanding of the alphabet is so much more thorough and both Tanya & Anne-Maree were incredible in helping my son along the way. This course was recommended to us and I can’t recommend this highly enough! Huge huge thanks for your encouraging support this year; one filled with plenty of challenges as well!

My daughter loves attending Letterland every week. It’s a fabulous school readiness programme that has assisted her with word building, reading & writing. Tanya & Anne Marie who take the class have been just wonderful! Letterland has definitely given her an advantage & I’m confidant she will be a step ahead at Primary school next year.

My four year old son started letterland this year. It has been the best preparation for Primary school. It has helped with his confidence, reading, writing and pronunciation. I wish I had done it with my other two older children.

My boy loves this class, and I am comforted that he is learning and interacting with other children preparing him for big school.
