Tutors
Our daughter learns brilliantly when working one on one with a tutor.
She has worked with around 5 tutors over the last few years. The best tutor we have had is a Speech and Language Therapist. Speech and Language Therapists have an in depth understanding of language acquisition and the stepping stones to learning to read and write.
The difference between someone who really knows what they are doing and someone who has just had 'some training' is immense.
I found it really beneficial to sit in on the tutoring sessions in the beginning. It becomes pretty clear early on if the tutor knows what they are doing and the child is benefitting from the work.
Tutoring is expensive and the child has to put time and effort into the sessions so you want to make sure you have the best tutor.
