About Us

Reading Bees is an enhanced learning program for 3 to 9-year-olds who want a head start on school or need extra help learning to read and spell. 

Every Reading Bees class is a nurturing and interactive learning experience. Our qualified educators follow an evidence-based literacy program proven as the most successful way for children to master reading and spelling from an early age. 

Our Kinder students start school with confidence. They develop strong listening skills and learn the sounds of the alphabet and the crucial art of blending them to set them up for success. 

Our Primary students effectively overcome reading and spelling challenges. Our systematic, small group skills-based program is tailored to address each child's need, meeting them at their ability, regardless of age.

The Reading Bees program runs during school terms only. 

Children attend 1 lesson per week.

We are proud to be recognised by Speech Pathologists, Child Psychologists and various organisations as an early intervention provider for children.
