Happy International Day of Play!

Play is one of the most important ways children learn and grow, and it's fun!

Through play, children develop thinking skills, build confidence, strengthen their bodies, and spark their creativity. Every game, adventure, and imaginative moment helps prepare them for lifelong learning.

Today, we celebrate the power of play and the incredible role it plays in every child's development.

How do you enrol your child at Tina Cowley Reading Centre?

The first step is an evaluation. This helps us understand your child’s current reading skills so we can find the best starting point to support their reading journey.

To book an evaluation or get more information, you can contact us via
WhatsApp message: 076 549 7860
Email: [email protected]

Once you contact us, we will schedule the evaluation. Evaluations are usually done in the morning when children are still fresh and focused. We also provide a letter of absence for the school afterwards.

During the evaluation, we assess your child’s basic reading skills, reading ability, and comprehension. With older students, we also do a scientific reading test to assess all the subskills of reading.

After the assessment, we provide feedback to parents, explain what we have noticed, and schedule your child’s reading therapy class times.

Reading therapy classes take place once a week for 1½ hours. During these sessions, we help children build confidence in spelling, reading, and comprehension, while also strengthening the foundational skills needed for successful reading through eye muscle exercises, memory exercises, and more.

Every child learns differently, and our goal is to support them with patience, encouragement, and personalised attention.

Happy World Laughter Day!

Laughter has many benefits. Physically, it helps reduce stress hormones and relax the body. Mentally, it enhances mood and supports the development of social skills and emotional intelligence. There are also social benefits, such as building connections with others and boosting morale.

At Tina Cowley Reading Centre, we end each reading therapy session with a laughter therapy activity!

Fun fact: The brain can’t tell the difference between real and fake laughter, so you can still gain the benefits, even if you start with a fake laugh!

Understanding Different Reading Skill Types

Did you know that strong readers use different reading skills depending on the task? At Tina Cowley Reading Centre, we help learners develop essential reading techniques such as:

Search reading – finding specific information quickly
Intensive reading – focusing carefully on detail and meaning
Scanning – getting the gist in a short time
Recreational reading – reading for enjoyment and confidence

Building these skills helps learners improve comprehension, speed, confidence, and academic performance.

Huis vol boekwurms! Hoe om jou kinders lief te maak vir lees.

Ons het Dinsdag bietjie meer hierdie onderwerp bespreek op Goeiemôre – Good Morning.

Baie dankie aan die span vir die wonderlike geleentheid om die belangrikheid van leesontwikkeling en vroeë geletterdheid te deel. Wanneer kinders die liefde vir lees ontdek, maak dit 'n deur oop na ’n wêreld vol kennis, verbeelding en selfvertroue.

By Tina Cowley Leessentrum help ons kinders om hul leesvaardighede te ontwikkel en ’n liefde vir leer te bou.
