At Literacy Steps, we follow a structured literacy approach that is explicit, systematic, and sequential. This research-backed approach focuses on phonology, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. It's particularly beneficial for dyslexia and other reading or writing challenges, providing tailored guidance.

Assessment & Consultation
We want to ensure that your child gets the most from their tutoring sessions with us. The assessment hones in on areas of weakness so they can be targeted and growth can be tracked.
Without an assessment, tutoring sessions would be guesswork; they would lack the structured and sequential approach that the science of reading requires for progress to happen. The assessment gives everyone a sense of accountability.
Our assessment is a prerequisite for our private tutoring sessions. They ensure the learning experience is personalised to your child's unique needs.
The assessment session is a comprehensive 1-hour session followed by a 30-minute consultation with parents/caregivers to review the results and create a plan of action.
