Why Do This Course

Help The Child In Front Of You

Reading is hard for them right now, and you want to do more than hope. You learn how to build their spoken language, lift their reading, and use writing games at home. Small things, done well, every day.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts from the basics and is written for parents. You do not need a teaching background.

Will this help if my child has dyslexia?

Yes. One part of the course is about how to identify and manage dyslexia, so you know what you are looking at and what helps.

How long does the course take?

Around 16 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material later.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Short answer and multiple choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. You can retake them as often as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to help your own child read.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
