Literacy Steps

Structured Literacy Tutoring & Consultancy

Using a multisensory structured approach to literacy tutoring

Structured Literacy

Structured literacy benefits ALL students, but it is essential for students that are neurodiverse.

Structured Literacy is an approach based on science—the science of how we learn. At Literacy Steps, we provide explicit and direct instruction that is structured, sequential, cumulative, and diagnostic. We use a multimodal approach that uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic methods to learn.

Our specialist services are personalised to the specific needs of the student. Our approach is the gold standard and enables us to empower students with neurodiverse learning needs that may be struggling or those gifted students who would like to get ahead.

Tutoring Services

We provide a variety of services tailored to each student’s needs, which can be delivered face-to-face and or online, either one-on-one or in a small group setting.
