Yr 1 Beginners

Yr 1 Mid Year

Your child knows 80% of the alphabet sounds but doesn't consistently spell CVC words correctly. They need explicit teaching in short vowel sounds with a mixture of alphabet letters / sounds. Focusses on accuracy and phonemic skills

Yr 1 End (blends)

Your child is stuck at the CVC level and struggles to blend sounds in words with four or five sounds.
Accuracy with blending sounds for reading and writing is an essential step into being confident with using longer words.

Online Programme / 1:1 Tutoring (Homeschool) 
Kate has been a real answer to prayer for our family. I was very excited to homeschool our children but in the world of learning to read and write, I was very overwhelmed and honestly didn’t know where to start. I had heard and seen some of Kate’s resources and lessons through friends and I was very impressed. From the first interaction all the way to now, Kate has been approachable and kind when working with my children and myself. Her guided work is achievable for children, meeting them where they’re at, but also gives them the appropriate level of challenge as they go. The program has been easy for me to follow and implement throughout our week; fitting in well with a busy homeschool schedule. We are very grateful to Kate and her experience in the early reading and writing field. Thank you, Kate.

Online Programme / 1:1 Tutoring 
Songyeon (Yr 1) started primary school in a new country, knowing only the alphabet. She was very hesitant to speak English and lacked confidence in a completely new environment. I felt that without the right support, things would not naturally improve — and meeting Kate was a decision I have never regretted. Kate combines structured, research-based teaching with genuine warmth and care for children. Through her foundation programme and private tutoring, Songyeon gradually became comfortable using English without resistance or fear. Most importantly, her confidence grew. I am truly grateful for the positive impact Kate had during such an important transition in our lives.

Structured Programme / 1:1 Tutoring (Specialist Intervention)
"My son 'J' struggled with phonics and sounding out words after his first year at school but thanks to Kate's expertise and programme, he's made remarkable progress. Kate not only identified 'J' challenges but also understood his learning style. After three terms of lessons 'J' has undergone a transformation in learning to read and write. He's not only overcome his struggles but has developed great confidence in his learning. Most importantly he's discovered a love for reading books, something we never thought possible in such a short time. Thank you Kate for everything you've done!"

School Leadership & Consultation
"Kate professionally guided our school’s team, she consistently demonstrated professionalism and was always well-prepared. Kate brought extensive knowledge, particularly in literacy, and her dedication to research is remarkable. Kate is always on the lookout for ways to enhance teachers' practices by making the most of their time with students, aiming for optimal outcomes while increasing teachers' confidence in delivering the curriculum. In our ESOL department, she showed us how to effectively incorporate essential vocabulary for second language learners in a way that is both relevant and contextual. Kate has a special talent for supporting underachieving students and consistently tries different approaches to help them improve and experience success. Kate tirelessly pursues knowledge and the best classroom practices in Literacy. She supports both teachers and students, fostering confidence and bringing out the best in everyone. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate to any organisation."
