Can you assist with our early reading parent workshop?
Tip 1: Recognise that oral language will very soon link to how the students process written language Students who have a large vocabulary and speak with adult like grammar typically progress into reading with much greater ease.
Check that your child's speech and language skills are where they should be.

Tip 2: A child's reading comprehension skills can be predicted (or worked on before they are even reading) through the presentation of specifically scripted comprehension questions**
