The Workshop Reading Centre is dedicated to assisting children with reading difficulties. A psychometric evaluation assesses problem areas, reading level, and the most appropriate course of remediation for your child. Our professional and caring team aim to rapidly close the gap between your child’s potential and his performance, with a strong emphasis on developing a postive outlook toward reading and boosting confidence. This is an essential skill, and should become automatic as the child becomes a proficient reader. Brain scanning research has allowed us to see that various areas of the brain are accessed simultaneously for effective reading. A child should improve 12 months in reading skill for every passing year. If they have a slower rate of acquiring this skill, the gap keeps widening between where they are and where they should be, falling further and further behind. Recognising the uniqueness in each child, and acknowledging the challenges they face, The Workshop Reading Centre is focused on supplying the skills to maximise personal and academic potential. We do a full reading assessment based on the child’s age. We measure reading vocabulary, comprehension on both silent and out loud reading, decoding ability, reading speed and reading accuracy. Our tests incorporate both single word reading and passage reading. A comprehensive report is issued to parents and recommendations for improving skill. We also conduct: Full verbal and non verbal assessment (IQ), Career Counselling, School Readiness and the Dyslexia Screening test. At The Workshop Reading Centre, we offer one on one remedial reading. Following a psychometric assessment to isolate the specific areas of difficulty, sessions are structured to address the need specific to each child. For younger children, a portion of the session is spent on the Phonics software, improving Auditory processing skills, concentration skills, and phonological awareness. For older children, we cover comprehension skills, which are vital, not only in English, but a skill that is necessary in all testing and exam situations. Material that challenges and develops confidence and self esteem, improving attitudes toward reading are a vital part of our remediation. The groups are kept small, with a maximum of eight to ten children, to ensure even the shyest child is engaged and participating. For parents who wish to directly assist at home, we offer hourly sessions of instruction on how to (age appropriately) read with your child, discuss material and develop reading skills. These consultations can also be arranged for your child’s au pair.
