Literacy Support Services
Learning Support Services
Reach-ed Learning Solutions offers engaging, interactive and evidence-based tutoring sessions with a focus on multisensory, structured, explicit instruction.
Structured literacy sessions support the development of reading and writing skills by promoting phonological awareness and focusing on the relationship between sounds and the letters that represent them (phoneme-grapheme correspondences).
Learners initially undertake diagnostic screening tasks to identify their main areas of need, and are regularly monitored to gauge their progress.
Homeschool Learning Support
In-home tutoring services are available for families who homeschool their children, providing personalised learning support during school hours (9am- 3pm).
This individualised approach ensures that each lesson is tailored to meet each child’s unique learning needs. Using a multisensory and interactive methodology, students are engaged with a variety of activities that stimulate curiosity and enhance retention.
The use of structured, explicit instruction within a nurturing learning environment aims at enriching the homeschooling experience making learning both enjoyable and effective.
Tutoring Options
Literacy support services include both online and face-to-face tutoring sessions. All sessions run during the school term and are complemented with homework tasks to allow for sufficient practice and skill reinforcement. For additional support, students can also enrol in online literacy sessions during the school holiday periods, depending on availability.
Face-to-face sessions can be held in-home or at the student's school (with the principal's permission), if located in the following Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs:
Greensborough, Eltham, Macleod, Yallambie, Viewbank, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Rosanna, Bundoora, Research, Watsonia, St Helena, Briar Hill, Montmorency, Lower Plenty, Diamond Creek, Plenty, Lower Templestowe, Wattle Glen, Doreen.
