Introduction

Lianne Bantjes offers specialised therapeutic tutoring for children and adults who want to further develop their English reading & literacy knowledge and skills.

She believes that a supportive & nurturing environment encourages the development of self-confidence and improves self-esteem, which is the foundation for any learning to take place.

Lianne helps individuals :

• who struggle to read at grade level
• who are failing English as a subject at school
• who understand that success in every school subject, including Mathematics, is affected by the ability to read for meaning
• who may only be able to read mechanically but who cannot yet effectively read for meaning
• who want to cope better with the amount of reading expected of learners when they reach high school
• who are second or third language English speakers and would like to improve their communication skills
• who are foreign nationals and who would like to improve their communication skills in English

What Reading Therapy does:

• Increases the chance of other subject marks improving
• Improves self-confidence
• Develops self-esteem
• Moves the individual from learning to read through to reading to learn
• Reading becomes enjoyable rather than a chore and the person now reads for pleasure
• School work & homework is completed faster & with greater independence
• Learners experience greater success & are therefore motivated to study further
• Learners cope better in high school and with the demands of tertiary education
