Mum's Proactive Choice Changed Everything...

Christina watched her older son struggle with reading and writing, and she was determined to give her younger daughter, Olivia, a different experience. She knew that waiting until school started wasn't the best option.
Before Olivia even began school, Christina enrolled her in the Foundation 1 Programme. She understood that early intervention would make all the difference, addressing any potential difficulties before they became major roadblocks. After just eight months, the results were incredible. Olivia started school with a love for learning and self-confidence that bloomed. She was already reading simple cvc words and writing sentences.
This strong foundation allowed her to focus her energy on making new friends and settling into school, while her learning continued with ease.

"Olivia always wants to watch your videos, Kate," says Christina. "She watches them many times, it has helped her confidence to talk in English and understand others."

Don't wait for your child to fall behind. Early intervention can make a world of difference.
Enrol now and you can give your child the same head start as Olivia.

He Struggled with Handwriting & Reading;
His mum found a solution

Kim's mum, Emma, noticed her son was struggling in his first year of school. His handwriting was messy, he had trouble with reading and writing simple words, and he was guessing words instead of reading.
The family had a trip planned and mum worried that when being away from school, he'd fall even further behind in his learning. Emma enrolled Kim in the Foundation 1 Program. Even though he already had some reading skills, she knew he needed the opportunity to ‘relearn’ and to fill in the gaps he missed in the classroom, like correct letter formation and linking sounds to letters.
The program's interactive, flexible videos were perfect for their travel, allowing them to learn and explore in their own time. In just three months, the change was remarkable. Kim's reading and writing skills improved dramatically, and he was well on his way to being at grade level.
His mum loved that the program kept him focused and on track, no matter where they were. 

"In many ways he has learnt more in this short time than what he did in the first year of school," says Emma.
