Reading
Stories, practice and Michelle’s own books — including the one this whole charity grew out of.

Learn with Nic
Some children fell behind with reading during covid and never quite caught up. Some are home-schooled. Some just want extra practice without it feeling like school.

What's here
Families come to our hub to work on all three. This is the same material, so you can carry on at home.
Spelling
Word lists and ways to make them stick — in small doses, often, rather than one long session a week.
Times tables
One table at a time. Slower at the beginning and much faster by the end.
Coming soon
A full literacy programme, in the works
Everything above is free and stays free. Alongside it we’re building something bigger: a proper literacy programme that a child works through step by step, where the next part unlocks as they finish the last, and progress is saved so they can pick up where they left off.
There will be stars to collect along the way — earned both on screen and for the things children do with us at the hubs — and a reward at the end for filling the card.
What it will cost
A one-off £3 for an account. Not a subscription, not a monthly fee — you pay once and the account is yours.
We’re building it now and we’ll announce a date here as soon as we have one. If you’d like to hear when it opens, drop us a line and we’ll let you know.
A note for grown-ups
For parents and carers
We’re not a school and this isn’t a curriculum. It’s material to work through together, at whatever pace suits.
We don’t teach in your place. When families come to the hub, parents come too — that’s how it works there and it’s how this works at home.
Nothing here collects anything
No sign-up, no account, no progress saved, nothing tracked. Use it and close the tab.

Guides you can keep
Reading comprehension packs, short passages and grammar guides — free to download and print. Here are two to start with.
More on the way
We're still adding to this
More of Michelle's books, more practice material, and audio so children can follow along.
If you’d like help in person, come to the hub — monday to saturday, 10am–4pm.
