We use a combination of informal and formal assessments. Following the assessment, we will create a program for your child. We break down all of the building blocks in reading and help your child develop each skill. We will support your child in developing their phonological awareness skills, letter to sound correspondence, orthographic knowledge and morphology in both reading and spelling. Our team are all trained in Sounds Write and use a structured, synthetic phonics approach.
We also believe that it is important to achieve fluency in a skill, before progressing to the next step. This helps reduce the cognitive load when your child moves to the next step, as they only have to focus on learning the new skill (instead of trying to consolidate what they have just learnt while they are learning something new).
