Our mission is to ensure that each child with dyslexia becomes a reader.

 

As both teachers and parents, we are passionate about the importance of helping struggling readers and children with dyslexia to be able to read fluently.

 

We understand deeply the challenges caused by low confidence and poor self-esteem in children who would like to be able to read more easily. This course is designed to help unlock their reading potential, and in turn help them access all areas of education.

 

This step–by-step program is designed for you to go at the pace of the learner, to ensure that they get to understand, practise and use their new skills each step of the way.
