Literacy support

Strong literacy and language skills are critical to a child’s future educational achievements. Unfortunately, too many Australian children in disadvantaged communities are lagging in this critical area of learning.

Children who do not develop the basic foundations of education from an early age are less likely to reach their full potential later in life. Schools and early childhood centres are hard pressed to provide the kind of one-on-one learning support that many children experiencing disadvantage need in order to catch up to their peers from more advantaged communities.
