My name is Laura Alderson and I am a Brighton based reading and writing specialist, with Reading Recovery training and many years of experience.
I am currently available for one-to-one tuition and support for your primary aged child.
My Service and Background
I use a wide range of carefully levelled texts to suit all ages and interests. Book making, letter sorting, whiteboard writing and language games make it fun and accessible. I use the research- and evidence-based Reading Recovery approach which employs a varied, child-led approach to teaching – not pure phonics.
I use a dedicated workspace in my own home in the Elm Grove area. Parents are welcome to stay and wait in a separate room.
I am DBS checked.

“Laura Alderson has raised the standard for us all. She has found ways of making sure that all children get the support they need to become able and enthusiastic readers and writers.”

I can't recommend her enough!”
