When Reading Feels Hard

Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence are often the hidden effects of struggling with reading, writing, and spelling. When children feel “behind” their peers, they may become frustrated, withdraw from learning, or show challenging behaviour. Without the right support, these struggles only increase over time, making learning feel even harder and more overwhelming.

The Power of Intervention

That’s why early, effective intervention is so important. Strong literacy skills - reading, writing, and spelling - are the foundation for all future learning. With the right support, children not only improve their skills but also rebuild their confidence, re-engage with learning, and begin to see themselves as capable and resilient learners.
