"Beacon Literacy is the light at the end of the tunnel” - Stirling and Elizabeth Vance |
Is This You?What is the Problem?For a while now, you and your husband have been saying that there is a problem. You’ve talked to the teachers; you’ve talked to the principal; you’ve talked to just about anyone who would listen BUT no one is listening and the years are passing you by. Your child is struggling with homework and is not paying attention in the classroom. You know that your child is bright and capable of more than what they are currently achieving but it’s not happening. You’ve had their eyes checked, you’ve had their hearing checked; and you even went so far as to have them checked for a learning disability or ADD. Everything checked out okay. So why isn’t your child happy in school and doing as well as you know he or she can. You suggested that maybe they are having difficulty reading and it was suggested that they just aren’t ready to learn or that they will outgrow whatever it is that is “troubling” them. You know this isn’t true. You know your child better than anyone. You are the Expert“From Kindergarten to Grade 3, we learn to read; after Grade 3 we read to learn. What if you missed the window?"Fundamental reading difficulties are never outgrown. Reading is the cornerstone of all subject areas and success at all levels of education is based on the solid ability to read. The time to act on a suspected reading difficulty is the moment you think there is one. Remember, it is never too late to learn with the right support and tools. When you bring your child to Beacon Literacy, we do the preliminary testing with both the child and the parent(s) present. Once it has been determined that there is a difficulty with reading, a testing expert works with the child for a more in-depth assessment. Meanwhile, Lani Donaldson, the owner, meets with the parent(s) because we want to hear what you have to say about your child and the fears that you have dealing with this situation. At Beacon, we believe that the parent is the expert on their child; we’re the experts on the process to learn to read. And that is why you are involved with the process every step of the way. When a child is enrolled in the Beacon Literacy program, that child is given 20 weeks of one-on-one attention. Now what…?It’s really very simple! To know if your child is experiencing difficulty reading, we offer a “no fee” assessment that will determine the level of proficiency for your child’s reading level with no obligation to use our services. Beacon Literacy is on a mission and that mission is to ensure that everyone learns to read. We guarantee your child’s success. If you’ve tried everything including other literacy programs and still haven’t seen the results that you want, it is time to bring your child to Beacon.
