We have expanded our services and have provided specialist tuition to pupils in 5 primary schools in Harrow. We have steadily built a reputation for provided specialist literacy tuition to improve pupils reading abilities and schools are requesting our services. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our specialist tutors have delivered fun, interactive tasks and games, to |
|||
| help pupils develop an enjoyment in reading. In addition, the pupils have |
|||
| become more confident readers and have learnt reading strategies to | |||
| empower them to become successful readers. |
|||
| We have continued to receive positive feedback from schools, who have |
|||
| noticed that the pupils have gained confidence in their willingness to |
|||
| participate in lessons together with significantly improving their reading |
|||
| abilities. Furthermore, pupils have improved their mental wellbeing and |
|||
| self-esteem. | |||
| The Reading Ladders webinar was successful and we raised f275.00 | |||
| which will be put towards expanding our reserves. We received excellent |
|||
| feedback from people, who felt the webinar had provided them with lots |
|||
| ofgood ideas and activities to inspire them in their teaching. |
|||
| In addition, we have sold reading and spelling games, that parents and |
|||
| tutors/teachers can play with students. We aim to further promote these |
|||
| games and find ways to produce them in a more accessible format, which |
|||
| means people do not have to print out the games, but can buy them |
|||
| ready to play. |

As a relatively new charity, we are always aiming to expand our reserves as part ofour growth strategy through fundraising activities. We were able to do this through delivering a webinar and through selling reading and spelling games, we had designed. We hired an illustrator to provide some iilustrations for the spelling games, who produced amazing artwork that enhanced the games and appealed to children. |
