Could you be a Word Whisperer?

Emma Hartnell-Baker is a former 'Outstanding' nursery owner, Ofsted Inspector, SEN teacher trainer, and Wordaholic! With a pattern-seeking brain, she 'sees' sounds when people are talking and visualises the 'pictures' of those speech sounds. She shares this unique skill with children, igniting their excitement about words!

Do you have a love of language and books? Do you want every child to experience the joy of exploring their interests through reading and use reading to enhance their lives from an early age? Join us as a Word Whisperer! Our tech and tools enable children to connect spoken and written English from birth. We are not 'teaching reading'; we are immersing children in rich language and exploring words that are interesting and relevant to their lives. Words are personal to the children: they are MyWordz!

​

They can be voice words, unvoiced, or written—words are used for so many reasons and conveyed in so many ways. When words are seen as we do, they become exciting—children become curious. Word Whisperers understand AttentiA—we are cultivating it in the children we are playing and talking with. It relates to an energy and attitude toward learning, as well as the mapping of words and understanding their history and meaning. 

Children start to teach themselves to read, and want to read. At that stage, we engage them in conversations about what they are choosing to read.

 

When we teach children to read in a classroom setting, this spills over into explicit instruction—and their learning journey becomes personalised. The speed at which Word Whisperers guide children to the self-teaching phase, when they become fluent readers, is mind-blowing. Why? Because children want to do this! They love MyWordz tech.

 

Start by reading the forthcoming book!

Workshops for parents and teachers, as well as support options will soon be available.
