Zip and Mac TV Series NZ Made Wild Daisies™ Publications Limited

This is an Early Literacy Programme created by Jill – Frog Lady - Mitchell. The programme has been evolving for the last 20 years based on the results of an Intensive Series of Studies using Teacher Aides who worked 1 to 1 with children who were considered to be unlikely to ever learn to read properly and extensive experience gained from our 1 to 1 Frog Pond Tutors (who work on a private basis) from 1996 to 2016 involving the Full Programme.

We now want EVERYONE to have the opportunity to use this Programme with Children or Non Reading Adults, so you too can watch the absolute delight on their faces as they realise that THEY REALLY CAN SUCCEED AND THEY REALLY CAN LEARN TO READ AND WRITE!
