KS1 Reading at KS1 builds the foundations everything later depends on. Many parents are surprised by just how much a genuine one-to-one specialist can help at this age — young children respond fast to focused attention, structured practice and encouragement, in a way that's hard to replicate in a class of thirty. This is exactly where working with a dedicated KS1 Reading tutor makes the biggest difference.

Our KS1 Reading tutors work one-to-one with children in Year 1 and Year 2, building genuine understanding and confidence from the very first lesson. Lessons are built around the England National Curriculum and your child's own school's scheme of work for Key Stage 1.
