Literacy Help for Kids in Adelaide
Building strong foundations in reading, spelling, and writing

Learning to read, write, and spell can be a challenge for many kids, leaving them struggling to keep up in the classroom or disengaging from their learning. Literacy therapy provides targeted support to address the underlying challenges with literacy, helping kids build confidence and achieve meaningful progress. We tailor every session to meet your child’s specific needs, making learning an empowering and positive experience.
Key challenges we can help with
Helping kids overcome literacy struggles
Reading difficulties
For children who struggle with early literacy skills, we focus on building foundational skills using a systematic synthetic phonics approach to help them improve accuracy, fluency and confidence in their reading.
Spelling and writing challenges
Kids who find it hard to grasp spelling rules or express their thoughts in writing benefit from strategies that improve accuracy and help them organise their ideas.
Engaging with learning
For children who have disengaged from their education due to literacy struggles, therapy can help reintroduce a sense of achievement and joy in learning.
