Literacy Lessons

All students are personally assessed to identify their learning strengths and weaknesses, including their phonological and phonemic awareness skills. This information forms the baseline of your child’s learning programme and identifies how best to support their personal literacy needs. All students attend a minimum of two lessons per week to ensure intervention and learning can progress at a successful pace.

Assessment of Learning

$175+GST

Assessment of learning plays an important part in understanding where your child is at in their phonological skills, spelling, reading, writing and speaking. This information pinpoints their next learning steps and what areas may be holding them back. The earlier that issues are identified, the sooner we can start remedial learning. It's important to get your child's learning on track in order to maintain and build self-confidence.


"Hi Kate, Thanks for the detailed assessment report, it is very useful for me to support my daughters learning. I will recommend you to my friends who may need help with their child's English skills. I would also recommend parents look into their child's English skills at an earlier stage (Yr 1 and 2) as it is easier to fill any gap if there is any". Pam.
