Reading comprehension strategies are explicitly taught in classrooms. The first strategy that I am sharing with you is MAKING CONNECTIONS. There are 3 connections we make when reading. Text to self connections, text to text connections, and text to world connections.
Parents reinforce these connections with your child when they are reading.

Ever wondered why some kids fall behind, even when they seem to be trying their best? 🤔
As a primary teacher with 35 years in the classroom (and a specialist in curriculum design), I’ve seen one thing again and again: learning gaps don’t just “appear” — they build quietly over time.
Here’s how it happens 👇
A child misses one key concept (like place value, phonics, or reading comprehension)…
➡️ That concept is assumed knowledge in the next lesson
➡️ Confidence drops
➡️ Engagement drops
➡️ The gap grows wider
Before you know it, that small gap has turned into a BIG barrier to learning.
🚨 And here’s the truth:
Learning gaps are common in primary education — but they are also fixable with the right support, structure, and targeted teaching.
✨ That’s where I come in.
I specialise in identifying exactly where a child’s understanding has broken down — and rebuilding it step by step so they can feel confident again.
If you’re a parent noticing your child:
• Struggling with reading or maths
• Losing confidence at school
• Saying “I can’t do this”
It might not be ability — it might be a gap.
