The Let's Fly Reading Programme is a simple and effective step-by-step method that helps children overcome reading challenges and build strong literacy skills. A parent or carer needs to sit with their little learner during each session, guiding them through the tasks. With just 10-20 minutes of learning time, five days a week, this supportive approach helps to develop reading confidence.

I know reading can be exhausting and tricky and sometimes a little bit scary. Working on Let’s Fly will be hard at times and may seem like a huge effort when all you want to do is go outside and play. But reading is something that everyone can learn to do, it just takes a little time and patience and lots of practice. And one day you will be able to enjoy all its benefits!

Parents are always a child’s first teacher. While schools are very familiar with reading challenges and dyslexia, it may be that you think you have spotted signs your child is dyslexic before this has been picked up by an educational practitioner. Equally, your child’s teacher may have brought up concerns over your child’s progression with you.

Is your child or student struggling to grasp the fundamental concepts of reading in their school hours? Perhaps you have noticed friction when it comes to practising phonics or writing activities, or your child’s teacher has expressed concern around their progress.

When you find something particularly challenging, it can be hard to keep up with motivation to try and try again. The same can be said for little ones on their reading journey. While reading widely to and with your child is key, choosing texts that focus on their interests and passions, there are also some particularly great texts that work well for little ones struggling to decode and segment new words.

Learning to read is exciting, but it can be a bumpy journey. Just like learning to ride a bike, some little ones pick it up quickly and effortlessly, while others need extra support to fly. We celebrate that some children pick up reading quickly, but at Let’s Fly we put our efforts and focus into those who need that extra helping hand, such as children with dyslexia.
