How Sam learned to read

“My son Sam is a kid with serious behaviour issues, including Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) and severe speech disorder. The school system was not equipped to help him, and after some negative experiences, he fought structured classes and instruction.

Sam never seemed to be able to retain anything I tried to teach him. Letters were like hieroglyphics to him.

Sam is also wary of new people, especially teachers, and I was so scared before his first session with Kyle. I was expecting a huge fight and to drag Sam in kicking and screaming before giving up half way through.

Then, Kyle cracked the code.

I don't know how he got through to Sam, but he did. My son began tutoring with ZERO language skills. Within a month of starting at Avery, Sam gifted me a letter he wrote!

If your child is struggling to read, write, spell or speak, I highly recommend Avery Family & School Psychology Services for an amazing literacy program with dedicated instructors and tutors. They have the education and experience to support students with learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism or who need a little help with school. Helping children to read and gain confidence is not just their job, it is Avery’s passion, and they put so much love into it.”
