Meet Emma Hartnell-Baker, the creator of Speedie Readies: Show the Code

Emma Hartnell-Baker, MEd SEN, is a teacher with QTS, a former Ofsted inspector, and the former owner and manager of two nurseries rated Outstanding by Ofsted. After more than ten years leading school wide literacy improvement and delivering teacher training across Australia, she returned to England as a doctoral researcher in word mapping. Known as the Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®, she helps children start self-teaching as quickly and easily as possible for that child, and is determined to end the harm caused when children are taught as if every child learns at the same pace and in the same way. Tutors will learn how to use two activities to ensure that any child understands the foundation of reading and spelling, which is bi-directional word mapping. Phonics is a way to teach this, but Speedie Readies takes a dual-route to word mapping mastery. 

“Two years on the wrong script can shape a life. Change the teaching, change the story.”
— Emma Hartnell-Baker, Neurodivergent Reading Whisperer®
