My 11 year old …she is a very bright girl …now in secondary school where speed is essential…We went through the RwRR book and method …this was such a pleasant experience… clear, fun and flexible. Her spelling improved with dramatic effect and her diction is so much better, as well, which is purely down to the process of RwRR method. Thank you.

‘RwRR especially helps ‘x’ as it puts emphasis on letters or groups of letters, making him think by breaking up each word into sections…a good deal of success as it makes him stop and think a little to assess the word, spell and speak it correctly… essential …due to his lack of hearing. He has vastly improved in his speech…It also helps me to slow down my speech, making it clearer for him to hear and understand the spoken word’

Your symbols are really helping ‘x’ with his spellings each week and understanding when to change the pronunciation of words in his reading…I am currently studying French and … your symbols help me remember how to pronounce their words.

‘..has helped me with my reading because she helps me to split up the words…helped me with my spelling because we put symbols under the words and it helps us to remember them.’

“It’s given me better confidence to try to read things for myself ...It’s given me new ways to tackle words I don’t know”

“ I started learning quicker by the things the teacher was “learning” me...It ‘s made me feel something for myself for a change”

I think any mother has a duty to protect their child’s self esteem.   In year 3, Emma’s self confidence was mentioned in every subject.    Time for action!...RWRR should be proactively given to every parent – not for us to hunt out....In Year 5, she jumped 3 bands - double of what is expected!
Emma took SATs at the beginning of Year 6 – she made 3b in every subject (not far off the average end of year grade of ‘4’).    We are really hopeful that she will enter secondary school confident and happy.

...have a chance to go through the words with Will and he managed 6 out of 9 for the test which he was very pleased with and he has been able to correct the mistakes himself with your symbols. ..Just to let you know - William came down last night with a story he had written - he read it out to us and then showed us what he had done. I was fully expecting to have difficulty reading what he had written but was delighted to see that all the words were clear, many spelled correctly and in joined up writing! I'll send it in for you to see at your next session. We were thrilled - Thank you  Parent
