Montessori is the methodology; Science of Reading is the research.
We combine the Science of Reading with a Montessori approach, bringing together evidence-based literacy instruction and hands-on, sensorial learning experiences.
Montessori guides how we prepare the environment, present lessons, and support each child's individual development. The Science of Reading provides evidence about how children learn to read and identifies the foundational literacy skills that should be taught explicitly. Together, they create a balanced approach that nurtures confident, capable readers.
Here are some materials Maria Montessori designed and taught over a century ago that clearly would have supported the Science of Reading:
Montessori experience is not required!
While we use a Montessori approach to teaching literacy skills, every child is welcome here. Maybe your child hasn't made much progress with the traditional approach to reading and writing? Why not try something new?
We combine Montessori-aligned literacy instruction with hands-on learning through personalized small-group sessions that help children grow in confidence, skill, and independence.
Unique Literacy Support
Early Learners
We support preschool-aged children using a sensorial Montessori approach.
The goal is to create a thoughtfully curated space where children can explore letter sounds and symbols through hands-on, tactile materials, building strong early connections to language and preparing them for Kindergarten.
Older Learners
For older children, we help fill gaps and shift our focus on strengthening foundational reading skills such as phonics, blending, and fluency.
Each child is thoughtfully assessed and placed into a small group based on their current skill level, allowing for personalised, meaningful instruction.
Small Group Learning
Our small-group setting allows for individualised attention within a supportive and collaborative environment, ensuring each child receives the specific guidance they need to thrive.
This personalised approach fosters deeper understanding and greater confidence.
Our approach offers a structured, hands-on way of learning that is especially effective for children who haven't found success with traditional methods.
If your child is struggling or losing confidence, or you’re simply looking to support their learning and prepare them for school, it may be the right time to try a different approach.
