Evolve Literacy

-Evolve Literacy Workshops for Families and Educators-

Learning to read can be hard on families as well as children. Practice with ‘home-readers’ can be fraught with creative avoidance tactics and tears…not the start to formal schooling we imagine. We know that what parents do at home is a significant predictor of success in reading and spelling, but in this new era of google, it is increasingly difficult for parents to determine what exactly works best. With 40 plus combined years in the research and practice of teaching early literacy, we can make the best of the science accessible to you. Our Workshops are now open for registrations for the Term 2 school holidays. Both of our workshops will run on each of the following dates:
Saturday 21st April Workshop1: 9.30-11.30, Workshop2: 12.00-2.00pm
Monday 23rd April Workshop1: 9.30-11.30, Workshop2: 12.00-2.00pm
Wednesday 25th April Workshop1: 9.30-11.30, Workshop2: 12.00-2.00pm
Saturday 28th April Workshop1: 9.30-11.30, Workshop2: 12.00-2.00pm

Evolve Workshops:
• We run our workshops in small groups (max of 8 people) for 2 hours to ensure the experience is engaging and responsive
• We do not rely on power point presentations because our workshops are interactive. Participant packs include an Evolve Literacy workbook and tools

• Workshops are held in our air-conditioned office in Balcatta

-Foundations of Literacy Screens-
Evolve Literacy offers clinical screening and feedback to families of children who have unique learning preferences, children with a family history of learning difficulty, and children of parents who have concerns about their readiness for school. Screens are administered using standardised and dynamic testing tools by both our speech pathologist and early childhood teacher, and the assessment process typically takes from 60-90 minutes. We analyse the data and develop a profile to help you understand where your child is tracking in relation to theoretical and developmental frameworks, the standard Australian Curriculum and individual learning preferences. The cost of $430 is claimable through private health funds under Speech Pathology services. The package includes the initial assessment appointment, integrated written feedback on the stage of development and recommendations for moving forward. Clinical appointments are currently available on Thursday’s at: 9.30am, 12pm or 2.00pm. Please private message or call if you are unsure of whether an individual assessment or workshop would be more suitable to your needs.
