π€ The biggest phonics mistake?
Teaching letter sounds but forgetting letter names.
Children need BOTH to become confident readers and spellers.
When children know letter names, they can:
β
Remember sounds more easily
β
Spell with confidence
β
Understand digraphs like SH, CH, and TH
β
Follow writing instructions
Strong readers don't learn names OR sounds.
They learn names AND sounds.

Does your child's story look like this? π

"She'll catch up eventually."
Sometimes they do. Sometimes they need the right support first.
Many children work incredibly hard but still find reading, spelling, writing or maths difficult.

β Is my child on track?
β Why are they avoiding reading?
β Are there gaps in their learning?
β Do they need extension work?
β What can I do at home?
Our FREE school holiday assessments provide clear answers and personalised next steps.
Because every child deserves to feel confident in learning.

π Can your child read the words... but struggle to tell a story?
Many children can read a book, but when asked to:
β Retell the story
β Explain what happened
β Predict what might happen next
β Write their own ideas
..they get stuck.
At CGLearning Story Lab, we help children build:
β¨ Vocabulary
β¨ Comprehension
β¨ Story sequencing
β¨ Creative thinking
β¨ Speaking confidence
β¨ Writing skills
Through fun, interactive activities, children become confident storytellers, readers and writers.
Because great readers don't just read words...
They understand, imagine and communicate ideas.

"We'll just wait and see how the next term goes."
That single sentence has cost more children a year of literacy and math progress than almost anything else.
It is completely natural to defer to school authorities. When your child's teacher gives a vague reassurance, you nod, accept it, and walk away with a quiet knot of worry. You don't want to seem difficult or pushy.
But early intervention is critical. When it comes to foundational skills like reading and maths, months of waiting can set a primary school student back by years.
You are allowed to ask hard, direct questions. You are your child's primary advocate.
If the report comes home below average this term, here's where to start:
β
Ask: "Is this a gap in foundational skills, or a pace issue?"
β
Ask: "What specific skill is my child missing, and what does catching up look like?"
β
Act before Term 3 starts β the gap widens every week it goes unaddressed.
At CGLearning, we run a Free Learning Discovery Session to identify exactly where your child is, what's holding them back, and what a clear path forward looks like.
No obligation. No pressure. Just answers.
