Teaching Reading
Efficient reading and writing skills are about more than just grades. Our mission is to enable our students to pursue their passions, like filling their Girl Guide sash. Read more about Rachel's journey with Halifax Learning.
When Rachel began at SpellRead last July, reading and writing were not among her preferred past times. Like many students who walk through our doors, she struggled to find joy in a world of books or writing by hand.
If this sounds familiar, don't wait, contact us today for a free in-depth literacy skills assessment. There is no obligation to enroll and within one hour you'll have a better understanding of how your child processes and understands text. We'll also send you a digital copy of the assessment report!
Recently, however, a certain spark has been lit and Rachel's developed a newfound self-assurance!
Her SpellRead instructors and her mom, Terri-Lynn, have all noticed a change in Rachel's energy and dedication to reading and writing—especially when it comes to earning Girl Guide badges.
"The other day, Rachel gathered the pages to do the write-ups on approximately six badges and took them to EXCEL, an after school program," says Terri-Lynn. "It was such a surprise to see her sitting alone working on her write-ups, and she was so happy to read each one to me."
Rachel's homeroom and resource teachers at school have also noticed a difference!
"They are seeing changes in her as well and the said that the knowledge she's gaining at SpellRead has proven to be very useful," says Terri-Lynn. "They've noticed an increase in her confidence."
SpellRead isn't just about achieving a growth in assessment scores. The program strives to provide a supportive and encouraging environment for students so that they can blossom personally, too!
Way to go, Rachel! We're all so proud of you!
