Summer Reading Course

Improve your child’s reading and speech in a fun way that they will love

Since you’re reading this page, you either have a child who needs help with their reading or you want to enhance your child’s ability to read and comprehend at a higher level.

What concerns do you have about your child’s reading?

  • Are they falling behind their classmates?
  • Can they read fluently?
  • Do you want to improve their comprehension?
  • Do they need help to build their vocabulary?
  • Are they embarrassed to read in class?
  • Are they scared of being “found out”
  • Do they feel like a failure?
  • And not want to go to school?

What if there was a method of learning to read that could ensure this? That could radically transform their school work and their self-worth?

As a parent of a child with dyslexia/reading challenges do you feel…

  • Disheartened that your child is falling behind in their reading?
  • Upset because your child is losing confidence as the gap widens?
  • Frustrated by the lack of effective professional support?
  • Unable to access resources to help your child?

Take advantage of our resources and expertise during the summer break to prepare your child for the best school year ever.

Our Summer Reading Program includes ClearFluency© which acts as a one-on-one tutor to help students improve their reading fluency and comprehension, and sets them up for a lifetime of joyful reading and learning.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if your child could be confident in the reading, comprehension and communication?

When I think about how it feels to achieve reading fluency I’m reminded of David, a student in our winter 2023 group.

He was reading very slowly and his comprehension was poor. He constantly had to re-read the passages in order to get the answers to the questions.


He went through our programme with a focus on improving his reading speed and developing comprehension strategies


His average reading speed went up from 65 words per minute to 115 words per minute.
This meant he could keep up with his classmates and get his homework done more quickly.

He also went from not completing his exam papers to fully answering the questions which gave him higher grades across all subjects.


This has resulted in Dave becoming a much more confident person inside and outside the classroom and becoming a child who has high hopes for his own future.

Another parent commented “They’ve more of an interest in reading, listening and paying attention. Their comprehension is probably where they most excelled. They no longer need learning support in school.”

.

We have hundreds of stories like this in over 20 years helping children improve their reading and comprehension.

This is the reason we support parents to help their children read effectively. The results are life-changing. We take a holistic approach that gives the child the skills to become strong learners,and fluent communicators.

What People are saying!

There is a marked improvement in Emmas confidence. Overall, she seems to have a clearer grasp of English. She found it very beneficial to complete the course at home as she could schedule her other activities around it.

Emma really enjoyed doing the programmes and she didnt find it a chore at all!”

David Cotter, Father of Emma

Prior to starting the Fast For Word programme, Anne’s reading was slow and lacked fluency As a result she had little confidence in her reading ability.

Five months into the programme her Fluency, Comprehension and Enjoyment have improved hugely! The Fast ForWord programme has had a major effect on her learning and we are delighted with her improvements.

These improvements have also been reflected in her schoolwork.”

Julie, Mother of Anne

“This software has meant that we can radically improve the reading and spelling ability of a large group of children in record time.

The program is so well designed, it can provide individually tailored, intense, essentially 1:1 sessions.
