Hi all,

Below you will find a quick guide explaining the Nessy program.

In our school, we’ve been using Nessy for the last two years. Although it was primarily designed to support children with dyslexia, we actually find that it is an excellent resource for any child with specific literacy needs.

See the following video that explains the Nessy Approach to Learning here.

Assessment

The first time Nessy is played, the ‘Explore Nessy’ video explains the navigation menus.

Completing activities is rewarded with Nessy nuggets.

To find an appropriate starting level, students should play the ‘Nessy Challenge’ game. This assessment will set 5 lessons as learning targets.

Click on 'Set Targets', then select 'Reading' or 'Spelling'.
