Evidence-based individual tutoring sessions are available for children with literacy difficulties, with session plans based on the Science of Reading. The prime age range for Lallo interventions is 6-10 years of age.

There are many reasons why parents might seek literacy tutoring for their child during primary school. Parents may be concerned that their child is not learning to read as easily as could be expected, or the school might have raised concerns. COVID-19 lockdowns may have led to gaps in the foundations of reading.

Many children are referred for 6-12 months of evidence-based structured explicit synthetic phonics intervention as part of the process of assessing whether they have a learning disorder in reading, and Lallo Yellow Literacy is well placed to assist these children.

Literacy support can be provided for students with any types of difficulties – whether attentional, intellectual, motivational, neurodevelopmental, linguistic/cultural, emotional, or experiential (including poor instruction).

All tutors at Lallo are trained Sounds Write* practitioners.

Tutoring will take place at Lallo in North Fitzroy. A small number of after-school session times are available. Most sessions will be held in school hours, and typically it is preferred that the child does not miss literacy teaching time at school to attend.

Fees:

• Standard rates: $100 for 45 mins or $120 for 60 mins

• Low income healthcare card holder (LIHCC) rates: $20 for 45 mins or $30 for 60 mins. A small number of places will be reserved for LIHCC families to see Madeleine Valibhoy.

For parents seeking to make the most of holidays to assist their child with literacy, Lallo is offering an Easter Children’s School Holiday Literacy Intensive.

Queries and bookings: maddy@lallo.com.au

0403286485

Fees: 4 x 45 min sessions $320 / 4 x 60 min sessions $390 

Holiday literacy intensives at Lallo involve booking a block of 1-1 tutoring sessions. For our Easter program, which runs between 1st April to 15th April, a 4-session-block is suggested, however, please contact us if you are instead interested in a 3-session-block or a 5-session-block. The evidence-based Sounds Write method (based on the Science of Reading) is used to help the child progress with learning phonics. This helps children who may have learning difficulties, or may have missed literacy instruction during the school term (e.g., due to absences or attentional difficulties), or simply because parents wish to give their child a boost in literacy. We aim to help each child feel confident in their emerging ability. 

Location: 290 Park St, North Fitzroy.

Age: Ideal range - 6-10 years of age.

Bookings: Please call 0403286485 or email maddy@lallo.com.au  

Lallo can (if appropriate) liaise with the child’s regular teacher at the end of term before the intensive to access information on current reading level.
