How does the Learnersaurus Literacy Program help?
Many dedicated professionals and parents have spent years trying to support and expedite the process of assisting their students to read, write and spell, with little success. Students are often frustrated and disengaged, while parents are time poor, often looking for an easy-to-follow solution.
The Learnersaurus Literacy Program has taken many years to develop, with researched and evidence based methods, providing successful for those who struggle with literacy. Most students working with the Learnersaurus Literacy Program will see success within 10 weeks, and after 40 weeks using the program, the student should be reading confidently with improved spelling and writing skills.
