When a child is finding early reading tough, the easiest thing to do is wait. We tell ourselves, “Let’s just monitor and see how things go.” We assume that since they are happy, creative, and smart in every other way, the reading will “click” later on.

But this is what happens while we wait: our preschoolers are noticing that they cannot do what their classmates are doing. They see their peers writing letters, blending words, and reading, while they feel completely stuck. By the time they transition to Kindergarten 2 or Primary 1, a small gap can snowball into them feeling that they simply are not good at reading. Their confidence takes ahi t.

Instead of waiting, consider specialized literacy support where a teacher can guide your child to build their foundation step-by-step. We walk side-by-side with you to bring back the joy of learning.
