The StoryMagic Learning Journey
Every learner begins in a different place. The five StoryMagic stages create a clear, supportive pathway from building strong foundations to becoming a confident, independent reader and writer.
Learners can enter at the stage that matches their needs and progress at their own pace.
Learners do not have to complete every stage. Their journey is personalised around their strengths, gaps and individual goals.
The StoryMagic Learning Stages
Your learner may lack confidence, avoid challenges or struggle with attention, memory and organisation. This stage builds the foundations needed for successful learning.
Your learner may find phonics, blending, spelling or recognising words difficult. This stage develops accurate, confident and increasingly fluent reading.
Your learner can read the words but may struggle to understand, remember or explain the text. This stage develops vocabulary, comprehension, inference and retrieval.
Your learner may have great ideas but struggle to organise or express them in writing. This stage develops sentences, vocabulary, planning, structure and editing.
Your learner has growing skills but still needs support to begin, check or improve their work. This stage builds confidence, independence and the ability to choose helpful strategies.
Learners discover practical tools that match how they learn best. They build a personal toolkit to support reading, spelling, writing, memory and organisation.
