Spelling and reading intervention

If your child is having difficulty keeping up with their peers in spelling, reading, and writing, then intervention is vital. We have undertaken extensive professional development and training in order to confidently deliver programs and approaches that work!

Spelling and reading intervention sessions are designed to be short, intensive, targeted, and should be carried out at least twice per week. These 20 minute sessions are perfect as part of a 45-60 minute English tutoring session.
