About us
ABOUT US
Readers Rescue has been established by a dedicated team of Australian educators who recognise the vital importance reading plays in empowering children to achieve success at school, and beyond. We understand that reading is a complex brain activity, a lot can go wrong as children develop into readers. At Readers Rescue, we have an in-depth understanding of the reading process which stems from years of experience teaching reading in the classroom. A proficient reader puts 20% effort into decoding words and 80% into comprehension. With a struggling reader, this is reversed, which explains why children with reading difficulties lack understanding of texts they read, and end up frustrated with the reading process. The team at Readers Rescue use their professional knowledge to assess and identify which fundamental reading skills a child may be struggling with, and create a reading program tailored towards each child’s individual reading needs. Our nurturing team provide children with strategies that will help them cope with challenges in a positive way, and set them on a path to enjoy reading.
Research has shown that if a child is not reading grade-appropriate materials by the time he or she is in year 4, the odds of that child ever developing good reading skills are very slim. It is till possible but it is much more difficult, and the child's own motivation becomes the biggest obstacle to success.
