Leading educational initiatives with a focus on resilience.
Early Childhood is the foundation for developing the pre-reading skills that shape confident capable readers.
Supporting children's early reading skills has never been more important.
The Resilient Reader focus on the often-overlooked foundations of reading, which are to strengthen auditory and visual processing and memory to support early literacy success.
Educators support reading every day. However, without linking to the vital foundational skills, children often struggle to gain literacy skills.

Auditory Processing
Hearing sounds

Auditory Memory
What we hear, remember and recall
Visual Memory
What we see, remember and recall
