Reading and literacy

Reading programme

A one-to-one programme will be tailored to meet your child’s goals. These are carefully identified prior to starting a programme and may include one or more of:

  • reading skills
  • improved handwriting
  • time management
  • balance and co-ordination
  • overcoming auditory processing difficulties

Your child will first be shown how to find the relaxed and focused state which is suitable for reading and other studies. Once this has been learned, the child is ready to build the skills that will allow them to overcome their difficulties. They will be taught how to recognize and control the thought process that leads to distorted and confused perceptions of letters, words and numerals.

Dyslexic children have a strong preference to think using visual imagery so the programme works largely by using pictures too.
