Can't afford this? While the costs are low compared to much less effective alternatives, we are aware that some families would struggle to cope with these charges, and many children who struggle with reading come from families with limited funds. If you contact us, we are trying to gain assistance from business to 'sponsor' children and may be able to put you on this program. You would need to be willing to enter an agreement about the teaching, have you child's name given to the business involved and copies of the results made available to them.

* Note that while we have extensive experience in successfully developing literacy, numeracy and spelling, it is not possible to guarantee success as this depends on several factors outside of out control. However we will give accurate information about progress so everyone is able to see the outcome of the program, even if results are not as desired.

Numeracy and Spelling

Can't spell to save yourself? Worried about your child's spelling? Even though we have computer spell checkers these days, not being able to spell can be embarrassing and reduce employment prospects. However, spelling is easy when you are taught properly. What about maths? Same thing. We can learn if taught properly.

In addition to reading, programs are available for numeracy and spelling for both children and adults. These are the same cost as literacy if taken alone, or less if taken in addition to other programs. Contact us for details.
