About Kim
Kim Wyrley-Birch is the founder of Let's Fly. With a degree in psychology and diploma in specialist teaching, she is also a Dyslexia Assessor (OCR L7 Dip SpLDs) and a SEND specialist, she has the knowledge and experience to help your child succeed in reading.
Kim's passion for supporting struggling readers began with her own children. When they started school, it became evident that the road to learning was a little bumpier for them. An interest in helping her children grew over the years into an esteemed career in specific learning difficulties. Kim is a professional member of PATOSS and the British Dyslexia Association. She runs a private practice-Dyslexia Decoded and works with children struggling just like hers did.
Kim shares her story, "I started developing Let’s Fly about 10 years ago. Despite their curiosity and love for stories, my children found learning to read incredibly challenging. The words and letter patterns simply wouldn't stick, making even basic school skills impossible to grasp. The impact on their confidence and self-esteem was devastating. I knew I needed to help at home. I wanted something that would really work but be manageable in our busy lives. Something fun, engaging, and very different from the black-and-white worksheets sent home from school.
The Let's Fly Method is a culmination of years of research, my professional expertise, and my experiences as a mum of 3 struggling readers. Understanding underlying reasons why learning to read is difficult and researching practical, effective solutions has been a passion of mine. Over the years, I have developed and honed the Let’s Fly Method in my own teaching practice. My pupils have also been fantastic critics, teaching me what works best for them. Watching their confidence blossom as their reading improves is the most wonderful part of my job!”
