22.01.2022 Just a quick update.... we are back online this term. Although childcare, kinder and schools are opening we are classified by the ATO as tutoring. Therefore, we are still not allowed to open our learning studios at this stage. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

10.01.2022 Here are some tips for parents/carers reading decodable books at home with their child. Children attending Reading Bees learn to read using the Little Learners Love Literacy decodable books.

10.01.2022 If you’ve learned something and you haven’t practised it close to the time you’ve first learned it, then you forget it quickly and that’s going to happen with the preps with their phonics knowledge, Mr Mackay said. We will pretty much have to go back to square one. Kevin Mackay, who has been principal at Dandenong North Primary School for about 35 years, estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic had cost his students about half a year of essential development in literacy, numeracy and oral language. https://www.theage.com.au//veteran-principal-says-more-pre
