Reading tutoring

Help your child read with understanding, not only accuracy

Some children can read every word and still struggle to say what a page means. Reading tutoring works on fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, and on making reading feel worth doing.

What we cover

Every programme is personalised. These are the areas sessions usually cover.

Fluency

A child who is still working hard to decode has little attention left for meaning.

  • Reading aloud at a pace that stays accurate
  • Phrase and sentence reading, not only single words
  • Texts chosen so the challenge is real but manageable
  • Short sessions that protect confidence

Comprehension

We practise retrieving facts, reading between the lines and pointing to the evidence.

  • What the text says, and what it suggests
  • Predictions and summaries that keep the main idea
  • Questions that ask why, not only what
  • Strategies children can use with school reading too

Books they will actually finish

Reluctant readers need material they care about, not only the next book on a scheme.

  • Fiction, non-fiction, comics and shorter texts
  • Permission to stop a book that is not working
  • Talk about stories, so reading is a conversation
  • A path back into longer books when they are ready
