Talamo Grade 1

2020 was a very difficult year, Talamo started Grade R in January 2020 and in March 2020 the country was on lockdown due to Covid-19. Schools closed and Talamo returned in September 2020 part time to prepare for graduations so that he can start grade 1 in 2021.

When he returned to creche in September 2020, I received several letters from creche that Talamo was unable to write his name, surname and numbers from 1 to 10. I then started teaching him and it was difficult, our lessons didn’t end well because I use to shout at him each time he failed the spelling. He couldn’t speak English well.

In 2021 when he started grade 1 they were not attending everyday. After receiving his 1st report I realized that he needed help. I had a meeting with his teacher and she advised that we should speak English at home because Talamo is unable to take instruction because he does understand the language. I then mentioned to his teacher that Talamo has started with the online classes on the 1st of March 2021 and we are also assisting at home.

2 months later Talamo’s teachers phoned me and told me that Talamo has improved so much and is requesting the number of the online teacher so that she can give it to other parents whose children are struggling.

Talamo’s 1st class at LRBL was so traumatic to me. English was a problem, they had to start to start from scratch. I use to stress a lot but LRBL kept me assured. Talamo is a playful boy and easily drifts but LRBL helped manage his behavior and kept him engaged in his lessons.

Talamo improved so much and started developing interest in reading, he started reading information on the bill boards, advertisements and TV. He would read every book he finds, even personal messages on my phone, there was no stopping him. He was able to read instructions in his homework books and answer the questions without any assistance from us. He is able to work independently. He is able to read big words far above his level. He is doing extremely well at school and in all his subjects. He is currently in grade 2 and he got an average of 78% in the first term.

The online classes are the best and I am saving a lot on transport costs, it’s so convenient.He thoroughly enjoys his classes and his progress is phenomenal.

Hlomani Grade 1

Where do I even begin? What an amazing journey.

When I enrolled Hlomani with Little Readers Big Leaders, I was going through a tough time, at the time Hlomani had failed first and second term whilst on the other hand, he was attending extra lessons with further referral for an assessment with another learning center.

Receiving reports that my son was not mature enough for Grade 1, he was operating at Pre School level, his thinking ability was that of a 5year, 8 months old, killed me inside. Little did I know that LRBL would have a positive impact on my son’s academics. I remember exchanging letters with his Grade 1 teacher whilst he was a few weeks at LRBL, I saw tremendous changes in his school work not to mention the improvement on his reading ability and how he always looked forward to his online class.

The teachers at LRBL encouraged him, motivated him, instilled hope in him that he can do better. They introduced different types of learning methods that assisted him immensely. Hlomani passed term 3 and he worked very very hard with the help of LRBL.

During COVID Lockdown, LRBL continued with online classes with a focus on key areas that needed improvement. Hlomani was then promoted to Grade 2 with flying colours. I will forever be grateful to LRBL for their continued support and dedication. Hlomani can read articles, books, brochures, billboards, whatsapp messages, sms notifications, newsletters fluently with little to no assistance at all.

I’m proud of him and will continue supporting him throughout his schooling journey. I see a bright future right ahead of him. To all parents whose kids are struggling with reading, look no further, LRBL has a solution for you. The best foundation in every child’s education is reading, once you get this right everything will fall into place.

If LRBL did it for my child, they can do it for yours. They are professionally trained teachers using techniques and methodologies that are recognized world wide using methods that are tried and tested and competing with the best in the market. Look no further than LRBL you will see changes in your children’s life and education. Invest in your child ‘s future today and reap the benefits tomorrow.

Karabo Grade 2

Karabo is a shy little girl in nature but since attending the LRBL program, she’s become more confident. We no longer spend a lot of time on school projects such as prepared reading and prepared speeches because she’s now more aware of her words and pronunciation and therefore able to read independently.

She now performs better at school in all her subjects especially mathematics because her dissection abilities have significantly improved.

Emily Grade 2

LRBL is absolutely wonderful with Emily and she looks forward to her lessons so much. LRBL has also sparked a joy for reading in her and we are so grateful. Emily has achieved an academic award for the most improved reader and I am so thankful to LRBL for the remarkable progress she has made.

She absolutely loves her online classes and we can see her flourishing, we would not be where we are with her reading without the help of LRBL. Forever grateful!

Ethan Grade 0

Ethan is now 5 and thoroughly enjoys his reading classes. He looks forward to his lessons at LRBL.

When Ethan started, he did not know any of his alphabets nor did he know how to read, and to see his progress now after being at LRBL for only 5 months, I am amazed! He is able to recognize the different alphabets, big and small letters, as well as read full sentences. The time and effort put in by LRBL is awesome because it shows the passion they have to help kids from a younger age.

Starting kids off from an early age to read is great as it gives them a head start in their schooling career and definitely boosts their confidence. Ethan always speaks off his lessons as it is a fun environment for the kids where they also get to learn and enjoy themselves at the same time, Fees are affordable and I would highly recommend LRBL to all parents.
