Cody Spell

ABOUT CODY

Why we started Cody

Cody started at home as a way to help our children with their school reading and spelling.

As parents of children with dyslexia, we saw how difficult it could be to decode words when reading and encode them when spelling. Repeated difficulty could gradually affect their confidence and independence.

What began as a simple tool for our family has grown into something we’re developing for other children, families and schools facing similar challenges. Cody Spell is our first available product; Cody Read is planned for the future.

Still learning as we build.

We’re continuing to develop Cody alongside parents, teachers and children, listening to their experiences and learning what makes everyday practice more useful.
