Hi Guys 😊
I’m a qualified teacher with 6 years experience. I teach kids who struggle how to read @ R100 per hour.
I also have a handbook (e-book)which teaches parents how to teach your child how to read that.
WhatsApp me on 072 116 5202😊

Most children don’t need a special needs school, they actually just need to be taught how to read.

@LwanaEsethu_ZA Simply getting this boy a few reading lessons could solve this. 😢

I’m a reading coach and I’d be willing to teach him online for free.
If anyone knows him pls ask him to reach out to me via dm let’s get him reading.🙏🏾

So this parent knows that his child can’t read but somehow, beating the child instead of getting help will solve his problem?😡

When will parents understand that reading is a CODE that most children have to be taught, they will not just figure it out because of your violence.

Is this considered good or bad parenting?

The academic subjects I learned in school were useful, but honestly the most valuable part of my childhood were the thousands of hours I spent playing. Those did more to set the foundation for the rest of my life than almost anything else.

In addition to the stigma associated with poor reading, peers can take delight in humiliating those who struggle.

7. If you notice your child guessing based on a picture while reading, start sounding out the word in question & let them know to read words, not pictures.
Be firm with this.
