The Books & Spells Programme for 8-10 year olds

Attention Parents...


Is your child finding literacy tricky?

Has reading been a concern? 

Have you considered why? 


It could be that they were not ready when phonics learning started at school.   

It could be a developmental delay.

It could be something more that needs further consideration.

Is it time for specific intervention? 

YES, if :

your child is not keeping up

their self esteem has become affected

their motivation or behaviour has become challenging

When a young person finds learning challenging they can quickly become frustrated. Often this leads to disengagement from learning, or it can show up as challenging behaviour.  When intervention is not in place or improvement is slow, their struggles just continue to increase and can become worse over time. 


Early and effective intervention in early literacy skills is pivotal to their development.  Why?  Because sound literacy skills are crucial for their current and future learning.

What if I told you that in 12 weeks you will see improvement with: 


-  your child's confidence

- your child's phonic and reading skills

- your child's engagement in learning

- your own knowledge in how to support them

- your ability to advocate for them


(improvement in literacy skills and self esteem is the goal)
