If your child has tutoring sessions with me currently, or has done in the past, I would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to write me a review.

If you have some comments to share with other parents, who may be considering using me too, please do leave me a review, either on Facebook or on Google maps (search for Primary tutoring with Catherine).

I'd be really grateful for your help with this, many thanks.

Making sure that children become engaged with reading from the beginning is one of the most important ways to make a difference to children's life chances.

Promoting the importance of reading starts way before children are actually matching letters to their sounds. Sharing books together, singing nursery rhymes and developing speaking and listening skills transforms children's attitudes to reading and are at the core of becoming committed and enthusiastic readers.

Reading:
*expands vocabulary
*develops imagination
*encourages concentration and focus
*promotes empathy
*makes the reader aware of other views and opinions
*teaches us about the world around us
*provides the chance to access the whole curriculum
*develops expression
*provides ideas
*improves memory
