Halifax Learning delivers Canada's leading structured literacy program!

When the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) published its game-changing inquiry report, Right to Read, it unleashed a shift in how Canadian curriculums and educators could—and should—approach reading interventions.  

The inquiry confirmed what literacy experts and disability advocates have said for years: the educational mandate of “balanced literacy” leaves teachers and learning assistants unsupported in helping students with reading struggles. The OHRC’s Right to Read recommends evidence-based programs and specifically names the SpellRead™ program pioneered by Halifax Learning Centre as a solution.

What our clients are saying...

Hi! It has been almost a year and a half and thought it was time to touch base. Just wanted to let you know our son is in grade 3 now and is having a great year. In fact, he just received an A in English literature. Can you believe it?!? We are all so proud. To see comments saying he is such a good reader and loves to read is truly amazing. Without his hard work and Halifax Learning’s SpellRead program this wouldn't of been possible. Thanks for everything!

PROUD PARENT Robyn

SpellRead is an amazing program and our daughter thoroughly enjoys is. Prior to SpellRead, reading was a challenge, however, now she'll read and actually enjoy doing it. The program is easy to follow for parents to help in their child's success.

SpellRead Student, Grade 5 Proud Parent

I love SpellRead. I could do it all day long. And SpellRead has helped me out so much and all of my teacher’s have noticed a big difference in my reading since the summer and so has my Mom and my Dad. I want to say a huge thank you to Halifax Learning for helping me so much. Thank you.
