Is your child struggling to read?
You don't need to guess what they need. A short assessment shows you where the gaps are.
Start with a 30-minute reading assessment — R350
I'll assess your child's current reading skills, identify the areas that need support, and give you a clear recommendation of what's needed next.

Your child's programme is built from their assessment — not random reading classes.
