📚 IS YOUR CHILD STRUGGLING WITH READING?

Sometimes a child works incredibly hard, but reading still feels difficult.

They may:
• Read slowly or avoid reading altogether
• Struggle to sound out words
• Guess words instead of reading them
• Find spelling difficult
• Struggle to understand what they have just read
• Lose confidence when reading aloud
• Become frustrated or anxious about schoolwork
• Need much more time than other children to complete reading tasks

💛 Please don't wait and hope that they will simply "grow out of it."

Reading difficulties can affect a child's confidence, school performance, and willingness to learn. The good news is that with the right support, children can make progress.

At Parow Tina Cowley Reading Centre, we work with children from Grade R to Grade 12, helping them develop stronger reading skills, greater confidence and a more positive attitude towards learning.

Every child is different, which is why we take the time to understand where your child is struggling and how we can support them.

✨ Your child is not lazy.
✨ Your child is not "stupid."
✨ Your child may simply need the right help and the right approach.

If you have been wondering whether your child's reading is on track, now is a good time to find out.

What does a Tina Cowley Evaluation involve?

Before a child is enrolled at one of our centres, we conduct a personal one-on-one evaluation to fully understand their current level and specific needs.

Key areas we assess:
• Reading ability (accuracy and comprehension)
• Phonetic awareness (sound recognition and processing)
• Spelling level
• Visual skills (form perception, eye movement and focus)
• Auditory memory (listening and recall)
• Concentration and attention span
• Spatial orientation and sequencing
• General processing and learning skills

For more advanced readers:
We also include a more scientific reading analysis, which evaluates the technical side of the reading process, including:
• Reading speed
• Comprehension level
• Eye stops and regressions
• How much of a word is recognised at the first eye stop
• Overall reading efficiency

Duration:
The evaluation usually takes approximately 60–90 minutes.

Why is this important?
This allows us to:
• Identify strengths and challenges
• Place the child in the correct group
• Create a personalised development plan

This is how easy it is!!

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: 084 712 2071
Tel: 013 656 5748
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.

Visit our website to find your nearest Tina Cowley Reading Centre or contact us to book your child’s evaluation today.
