Choosing where your child learns to read is a big decision. Here are five reasons Melbourne families choose Reading Bees.
1. Children are placed by skill, not age
Two children in the same school year can be at very different points in their reading. We group children by the skills they actually hold, and every primary student starts with a short screening, so the teaching is pitched exactly where your child is.
2. Small groups
Classes have between 5 and 12 children. That means every child gets attention, encouragement and plenty of chances to practise reading aloud in every lesson.
3. An evidence-based phonics approach
We teach reading explicitly and systematically using synthetic phonics: sounds first, then blending, then reading real text. Nothing is left to guesswork, and each step builds on the one before.
4. Learning that feels like fun
Songs, games, silly sentences and hands-on activities keep young learners engaged. Our educators make lessons so interactive that children often don’t realise how much they are learning.
5. A studio close to home
With eight learning studios across Melbourne — Bentleigh, Caroline Springs, Cranbourne North, Epping, South Kingsville, Templestowe, Wantirna and Williams Landing — and morning, after-school and Saturday classes, it is easy to fit Reading Bees into family life.
