Reading space 🏡 📚 💫
We recently talked about creating a cozy reading nook. A special reading space may be all the encouragement your child needs to settle down and spend time with a good book!

Here are some beautiful examples, which is your favourite? Comment below, 1, 2 or 3 🌻

We love the flexibility that our online classes offer; they can be completed anytime that suits! However, we do recommend that you try to get into a bit of a routine with the classes. For example, you may set aside each Thursday afternoon to work on the lessons, or maybe a Saturday morning, or possibly two times each week. As a guideline we recommend 1-2 lessons each week or fortnightly, depending on your schedule.

The videos themselves range between 30-40 minutes in length, depending on the content covered and the age group. Several times within the video Allison will ask students to pause the video and complete a worksheet, or to complete a piece of writing or other activity. There is also a writing portion and we recommend between 15-45 minutes of time spent on this, depending on the age and ability levels of your child. Altogether the lesson could go anywhere from one hour to two hours…it’s up to you! Each module is written so that it continues on from the previous one, so students can continue to complete modules and lessons at their convenience.

Any questions please send us a DM.

Tips to Motivate Your Child to Read 💡

🌟 Make sure the reading material isn’t beyond your child’s reading abilities. The interest may be there, but if the book is hard to read, your child’s motivation will wane.

🌟 Set aside a regular read-aloud time with your children. Choose a variety of high-quality literature that appeals to your child’s age and interests. Audio books are another great option for a reluctant reader. And don’t abandon read-aloud time when your children get older—no one is too old for a great read-aloud.

🌟 Create a cozy reading nook. A special reading space may be all the encouragement your child needs to settle down and spend time with a good book!

Read to your child every day 💡

🌟 When you read, show your child how you “track” the words on the page by using your finger to point to each word left to right that you read.

🌟 Read a variety of types of books including nonfiction, fiction, comics, and poetry. Let your child pick the books since choice makes everything more interesting to kids.

🌟 Before you read, look at the cover, title, and pictures to help you make a prediction of what the book might be about.

What a lovely quote and so true 💫 📚

Our online Literacy program is built on years of personal experience in teaching.

It's designed in a way that ensures your child won't fall behind with their schooling and extends them beyond their current worksheet approach to learning. Each lesson is about an hour that involves activities that they can complete at home on their own.
