Have You Ever
Asked yourself these questions
- Why do some of my students struggle so much with literacy?
- How can I teach my struggling reader(s)?
- What activities can I use to teach my beginner reader(s)?
- How do I help a struggling older reader?
- How do you teach someone to read?
Then The Reading Teachers Club is for you . . .
Here at Raising Readers, we use an explicit, systematic, and sequential method of teaching literacy- a method that is based on the science of how our brain learns to read.
A method that gets results.
Reading is not guess work, it’s science!
Ready to learn more about structured literacy? Let’s get started together…
Hi,
I'm Marian
I am a reading specialist and structured literacy trainer. Helping children learn to read and spell using structured literacy methods is at the centre of Raising Readers, a company I have built over the last 15 years. (Read my story here)
Here at Raising Readers our mission is to change the literacy landscape of South Africa by raising awareness and teaching others to use structured literacy. We help teachers re-ignite their love of teaching by empowering them with structured literacy knowledge, skills and resources and give parents access to skilled structured literacy teachers who can teach their struggling reader and get them back on track.
Giving children the gift of literacy lights us up and our growing team of structured literacy teachers are reaching more families and more schools with one on one lessons using a literacy method that aligns with the way brains learn to read.
One of the greatest joys of being a structured literacy teacher is seeing that lightbulb moment happen when a student gets the code! This incredible team of teachers are creating lightbulb moments in many student’s lives. Your child could be the next one to have their reading lightbulb moment!
