Finding Reading Tricky?

If your child is finding reading tricky, or you're just not sure where to start, you're not alone - it's one of the most common reasons parents reach out to me.

My reading tutoring sessions focus on:
- Sound Awareness building the foundations of connecting sounds to letters

- Phonics and decoding learning the letters and their sounds and using them to sound words out

-Vocabulary to understand what words mean and how to use them in context
- Fluency helping reading feel smoother and less effortful
- Comprehension making sure your child actually understands what they read

Sessions are one-on-one or small group, run weekly, and are tailored to exactly where your child is at, whether that's early reading skills or building confidence with longer texts.


We used Donna when my son was 12 months behind in school, in just a short 6 months my son had a major operation and with Donna's help he managed to be at level. With everything going on, Donna was so supportive and my son really enjoyed his time with her and the activities that she produced for him.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement. Best decision I ever made for my son.
