Is Your Child Struggling To Read?

If reading time often ends in frustration or tears, you’re not alone. We meet parents every week who feel the same worry and guilt. The truth is, your child isn’t incapable or unfocused — they just need to be shown how to read in a way that makes sense to them. 

You might notice your child:

✅ Avoids reading homework or says “I can’t do this.”
✅Tries hard but guesses words instead of sounding them out.
✅Reads the same line twice or loses their place easily.
✅Knows the story when it’s read aloud — but struggles when reading it alone

The good news is, once we understand why reading feels so hard, we can fix it — often faster than you think

When a child struggles to read, it doesn’t just affect their marks — it changes how they see themselves.

Reading is the foundation for every subject a child will face. When they can’t read with ease, even maths, science, and life orientation start to feel impossible — because every task begins with words.

Most reading problems start early, when key building blocks like phonics, fluency, and comprehension don’t fully “click.” As schoolwork gets harder, those small gaps widen — and a simple reading issue soon becomes a learning one.

But here’s the hope: with the right approach, those gaps can be closed. Children who once dreaded reading can rediscover their confidence — and often start enjoying school again.
