Start with the real learning gap
Parents often notice the difficulty before they know whether the right next step is phonics, reading, grammar, sentence building, or speaking support.
Recognises letters or sounds but struggles to combine them into readable words.
Reading feels effortful, inconsistent, or dependent on memory instead of confident decoding.
Knows what they want to say but needs support turning ideas into complete sentences.
Tenses, sentence order, punctuation, or basic grammar patterns are not yet secure.
Needs guided practice to expand answers, explain ideas, and speak with more detail.
Confidence, clarity, or fear of mistakes is stopping your child from expressing what they know.
Every child starts from a different point. Tiny Steps begins by identifying the current bottleneck before recommending a learning path.

The teacher focuses on the areas connected to the concern you shared. Age helps us choose appropriate tasks, but placement is based on the child's observed skills rather than age alone.

The purpose of the programme is to make the child’s next step understandable to the teacher, the child, and the parent.
Each lesson works toward a defined objective instead of moving through unrelated activities.
Teachers model the skill, guide the child through practice, correct errors, and give another attempt in real time.
Prompts, examples, repetition, and practice time can change while the learning objective stays structured.
Updates connect what was taught, what still needs practice, and the next learning focus.
