READING UNLEASHED
What do we do?
Reading Unleashed focuses on unlocking the reading code for children who are struggling with reading and who may have specific learning difficulties in Reading, Spelling or Writing, such as Dyslexia, Language Disorders, etc…
Reading Unleashed aims to build your child's confidence by strengthening their skills through targeted teaching, which enables them to access the whole school curriculum and fully participate in their learning. This is achieved by understanding each child's specific capability and delivering sessions that meet them at their point of need. The tailored one-to-one sessions help students build their literacy skills, functional capacity in language and communication, and to grow in confidence.
Our Practice
We use evidence and research-based approaches and strategies to implement high quality practice to assist each child's specific needs. We include explicit, systematic, structured strategies. We use sequential, cumulative scope and sequence such as Ascend Smarter Intervention, Reading Simplified Academy and SPELD NSW. Building a positive environment with each child is also at the heart of intervention sessions. Our engaging and multi-sensory approach allows positive relationships to grow, encouraging trust and building self-esteem.
