Your child reads a word perfectly one day, then gets stuck on it the next.

They have wonderful ideas to share, yet getting them onto paper feels exhausting.

They can do something with your help, but independently? That's a different story!

These little moments can tell us something important about how securely a child has learnt a skill.

Understanding what's happening beneath the surface helps us work out what to teach next.

A personalised pathway, built around your child

🍃 First, we get curious.

A comprehensive literacy assessment helps me understand your child's strengths, identify the skills that need strengthening and explore what's making learning difficult.

🧠 Then, we make sense of it together.

You'll receive a clear explanation of your child's literacy profile and personalised recommendations for what comes next.

⭐️ From there, we build skills.

Where intervention is appropriate, I use explicit, evidence-informed teaching that targets your child's needs and builds on their progress.

Those little moments when something finally makes sense? They're worth celebrating!

A little more about me

Hello, I'm Janette!

I'm a literacy specialist and Sounds-Write practitioner, and I love looking beyond whether a child gets an answer right or wrong.

I'm interested in how they get there, what they can do independently and where things start to get tricky.

Those observations help me understand what needs teaching next.

One of my favourite things is watching a child realise, "Hey, I CAN do this!"

That's the kind of progress we're working towards.

A little clarity, delivered to your inbox

Ever wished someone could explain your child's reading and writing struggles without all the jargon?

That's exactly what The Pathway Letters are for!

Every fortnight, I'll share little insights from my work as a literacy specialist, practical ideas for home and a few common myths we'll unpack along the way.

There'll be some encouragement and little wins to celebrate too!

Think of it as a friendly note from me, helping you make a little more sense of your child's literacy learning.

Wondering what your child needs next?

You don't have to work it all out yourself.

A comprehensive literacy assessment can help you understand your child's strengths, where they're getting stuck and what the next steps could look like.

I'd love to help you find a pathway forward.
