Gemma

Tracy introduced my (ASD level 2 & dyslexic) son to the program ‘Cracking the ABC code’ towards the end of Yr 2 with great success. At this time, my son was a non-reader who couldn’t register a reading age on PM Benchmark. Although we had worked extensively on reading and phonics at home, we couldn’t seem to understand what was preventing him from progressing with his reading.
Tracy was extremely proactive in researching a program that would support our son effectively. Through Tracy’s dedication and efforts, our son, who is now in year 4, is now reading age appropriate and has astounded us with his improving fluency and ability to decode difficult words. I thoroughly recommend Tracy and the program in addressing barriers to reading.

Thankyou Tracy. I am very happy and proud of him and his progress and I thank you for you efforts and help.

We were recommended Tracy from a leading professional for our 5 year old struggling at school to keep up with her older peers. We decided it would be good for our 9 year old, who had become disengaged at school. From our first experience both children were engaged and actively participating whilst developing their learning.  Is has been a truly rewarding experience to watch our youngest daughter feel confident in her learning and extend her confidence into the classroom. Her teacher can she a huge difference. Tracy is highly experienced and knowledgeable with current school curricula, this valuable advantage created a strong connection to their school learning and allowed both children to thrive.
