READING UNLEASHED

What do we do?

Reading Unleashed supports children who are experiencing difficulties with reading, spelling or writing, including those with specific learning differences such as dyslexia and language-based challenges.

Sessions are individually tailored to each child's unique learning profile, recognising that every child thinks, learns, and processes information differently.

Reading Unleashed aims to build your child's confidence by strengthening their underlying skills and learning foundations through targeted, individualised support. This helps children better access learning and participate more fully across school and everyday environments.

Tailored one-to-one sessions support children to build their literacy skills, as well as their functional capacity in language, communication, and thinking – helping them grow in confidence and independence.

Our Practice

We use evidence and research-based approaches to implement high-quality, individualised intervention. We include explicit, systematic, and structured strategies, delivered in a sequential, cumulative way using approaches such as the following:

Building a positive environment with each child is also at the heart of intervention sessions. Our engaging and multi-sensory approach allows positive relationships to grow, encouraging trust and building self-esteem.


Specialist Support – What makes us DIFFERENT?

READING UNLEASHED offers specialised support beyond traditional tutoring.
Children with dyslexia and  specific learning difficulties learn differently. Many children may also experience differences in areas such as attention, language, or anxiety, which can impact how they engage with reading and learning.
Learning to read is not intuitive and requires structured, evidence-based support.
Children benefit from working with a skilled practioner who understands how to develop the underlying skills needed fore reading, communication, and thinking.
Intervention is tailored, sequential, and multi- senosry, supporting children to build strong foundations for reading, spelling, and written expression, while also increasing confidence and engagement.
