What you get
Inside the Accelerator
A plan built for your child
We start by finding the exact reading and spelling gaps holding your child back, then build their program around them.
Specialist-led support
Your child works with literacy specialists using research-based methods designed for children who struggle to read and spell.
Confidence that sticks
As reading and spelling get easier, children rebuild their self-esteem and start enjoying learning again.
Who it's for
Is this right for my child?
The Accelerator is for children who are:
Aged 5–15
Primary school or early high school.
Finding reading or spelling hard
Avoids reading, guesses at words, or keeps misspelling the same words.
Falling behind or losing confidence
School reports or teachers say they need extra help, and they're starting to believe they're “not smart”.
