One of the biggest predictors of reading success isn't intelligence.
It's confidence.
Children who are willing to have a go, make mistakes, self-correct and keep trying will almost always make more progress than children who are too worried about getting it wrong.
Confidence doesn't magically appear one day. It's built over time through encouragement, positive experiences, achievable challenges, and having trusted adults who focus on progress rather than perfection.
That's why you'll often see us sitting alongside children, celebrating effort, supporting them through mistakes, and creating opportunities where they can experience success.
Our job isn't to create perfect readers.
It's to create confident learners.
The reading comes after that. ❤️

🧠 IQ gets a lot of attention.
Emotional intelligence deserves more.
You can have an IQ through the roof, but if you can't recognise your emotions, manage frustration, navigate relationships, cope with setbacks, communicate your needs, or reflect on your own behaviour... life can still be incredibly difficult.
At ALA, we're just as interested in who children are becoming as we are in what they know.
Yesterday's Essential Skills session wasn't just about tunnels, painting, scissors and letter activities.
It was about waiting when something didn't happen immediately.
Trying again when something felt hard.
Working alongside others.
Managing disappointment.
Building self awareness.
Developing confidence.
Learning that mistakes aren't emergencies.
Because what good is knowing all the answers if you don't have the skills to participate meaningfully in the world around you?
The ability to regulate, connect, adapt and persevere will take a child much further than any test score ever could. ❤️

🍫 WEEK 5 • Everyday Cooking Skills 🍫
Tuesday 26th May
Reserve Drive, Mandurah
This week we’re making Chocolate Nut Bark 😋
This recipe is such a great opportunity for children to practise independence and creativity in the kitchen. From choosing toppings to mixing and assembling ingredients, there are so many natural learning opportunities woven throughout the session.
This week children will have opportunities to:
✨ practise measuring and pouring
✨ strengthen fine motor skills
✨ follow multi-step instructions
✨ explore food textures and combinations
✨ build confidence and independence
I’ve really been loving watching friendships grow during these sessions too. Some of the best moments happen naturally around the table through conversation, teamwork, and shared experiences 🩷
And let’s be honest… it’s also a pretty nice little treat, and we all know I do love a little bit of choccie 🍫😉
