One more week of holidays, then back to school. Is your child ready for another term at school? Did they make some improvements in term one and receive the help they needed or did they continue to struggle? Teachers must be ready with the right support for their struggling learners and parents can make a huge difference working with their child at home.

You can’t afford to wait to see how they go for another term, take some action now!

When a child starts school, they start with the ABC, learn to read, write and spell and after a few months they can read anything. That’s how it goes, right?

With the current state of the education system, it is easy to understand why many parents are apprehensive about continuing their child’s education in the classroom, particularly when their child has a learning difficulty.

We cannot wait until the school catches up and realises that your child does not have the basic skills required for literacy learning.

Rather than anxiously waiting for that dreaded first day back, a little preparation will go a long way to reassuring your child (or students) and yourself that it will be ok.

Literacy skills need repetition to continue to develop, so ensure that there is an element of literacy learning each day. All the hard work you have already done needs reinforcement and repetition. Find the fun but keep on learning!

The signs of a struggle to learn to read can be seen in children from a very early age. How early should we look at providing interventions and look for signs of dyslexia?
