Reach-ed Learning Solutions

If you are pursuing a Dyslexia diagnosis for your child, you have probably been told that your child will first need to receive at least 6 months of literacy intervention before a formal diagnosis can be made.

By receiving evidence-based, explicit and structured literacy intervention at Reach-ed Learning Solutions, your child will be given the opportunity to improve their reading and writing skills. This will give you and any clinicians involved in the diagnostic process an accurate insight into your child's learning potential prior to confirming a Dyslexia diagnosis.

Reach-ed Learning Solutions offers engaging, interactive and evidence-based literacy sessions with a focus on multisensory, structured, explicit instruction.

Structured literacy sessions are based on Sounds-Write, an evidence-based synthetic phonics program that helps develop reading skills by promoting phonological awareness and focusing on the relationship between sounds and the letters that represent them.

Sounds Write is endorsed by the Australian Department of Education and the Dyslexia SPELD Foundation (DSF).

Learners initially undertake a diagnostic screening test to identify their main areas of need, and are regularly reassessed to gauge their progress.

Sessions can be conducted either at the child's home or school (with the school's permission), if located in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs

Face-to-face learning can also be reinforced through interactive online activities.

Face-to-face tutoring services are delivered in the following suburbs:

Greensborough, Eltham, Macleod, Yallambie, Viewbank, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Rosanna, Bundoora, Research, Watsonia, St Helena, Briar Hill, Montmorency, Lower Plenty, Diamond Creek, Lower Templestowe, Wattle Glen, Doreen.

Monday to Friday: face-to-face sessions can be held in-home or at the child’s school. Please consult with your child's school first, if interested in the option of in-school visits.

Weekends and School Holidays: your child can be visited at home.

Make-up lessons due to lesson rescheduling may be offered as face-to-face or online sessions depending on availability.

During school holidays there may be availability for additional face-to-face in-home sessions. Due the high demand for this service, please express your interest well before the end of the school term.

Make-up lessons resulting from cancellations during the term may be rescheduled over the school holidays depending on availability.

The hourly fee for a face-to-face tutoring session is $130 for cash payments. This charge applies to school and home visits only in the north-eastern suburbs listed above.

An additional fee will be charged if services are provided in a suburb not included in this list.

An additional charge applies if the tutoring sessions take place outside the regular service area.

The session fee includes travel-related costs, time communicating with the parent about the child's progress, and the preparation of homework tasks.

In order to maintain a consistent and high-quality service delivery, when a client has to cancel an existing session booking, the missed session will have be to be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time, preferably within the same school term, in order to avoid being charged a full session fee.

If another face-to-face session cannot be organised due to other existing appointments, the option of a make-up online session may be offered, depending on availability.
