StepsWeb is a leading online literacy program used in over 1200 schools in New Zealand.   StepsWeb adapts to each learner to strengthen all of the core skills needed for reading and spelling.

Suitable for ages 5+ through to adults, it is evidence based, diagnostic and intuitive, with every activity based on research into how literacy develops. It has a strong emphasis on processing and perceptual skills – catering for all, but ideal for dyslexic and other struggling learners. 

Workbooks to use alongside the program are also available to purchase, please email us at stepsweb@nchenz.org.nz

Member Recommendation:
The workbook arrived this morning and it looks great! This combined with the online stuff will work really well and be much more like a whole structured literacy approach. I wish I’d used the workbook with the previous level but will continue to get them for each one. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I find steps is priced so much lower than some of the other structured literacy resources. Definitely recommend using the two together.

PLEASE NOTE

WHO ADMINISTERS THIS PROGRAM

Gin Taylor manages this program. She is a homeschooling mum in Taupo who volunteers on the NCHENZ Executive Committee. She is not employed by StepsWeb. Every single member of the committee is a volunteer. They all have lives outside of the committee, they all have children they homeschool. Some of the Committee members volunteer within their communities, some have part time jobs or work from home. Be kind to these people, they do an amazing job for all New Zealand home educators.
