Want to support your child's reading, spelling and math skills at home?
Check out our new Parent Training Program—designed to help you boost your child’s literacy or numeracy development beyond the classroom.
In this hands-on session, you'll spend 1.5 hours with one of our expert instructors learning practical language and strategies to support your child's reading, spelling, or foundational math skills at home. You'll also receive a take-home kit with materials that mirror the tools used in our Read/Write and Numeracy Intervention programs.
A 30-minute follow-up session is included to answer your questions and help you feel confident continuing your child’s learning journey at home. This program complements—rather than replaces—formal intervention services.
Who is this for?

- Parents or caregivers who want practical tools to support their child’s reading, writing, spelling, and math foundational skills at home
