WHAT STUDENTS & PARENTS SAY ABOUT
OLD SCHOOL PHONICS
"Caroline is a very knowledgeable and experienced reading intervention teacher.
I have worked alongside Caroline for many years in Reading Instruction. Her
dedication together with her determination to use only Science of Reading and
current evidence-informed approaches is very impressive. Caroline’s high level of
professionalism is reflected in her commitment to her students via a thorough
application of explicit and direct teaching techniques."

"Doing second game of sounds of ‘ae’ UNO with Emily. She loves it. I whipped her butt first game. She won the second game fair and square, and was relaxed about reading the words. She giggled the whole way through UNO and it was a beautiful positive thing. Love your encouraging comments for Emily."

"Caroline has helped Vinnie a lot throughout the years he has been at school with one-on-one learning, which Vinnie feels more comfortable with. Vinnie got SRC this year. He is very outspoken now, thanks to Old School Phonics. Caroline is a very good teacher and I highly recommend her teaching of reading and writing through sounds and making learning fun!"

"I like doing Sounds Write sound games and learning how to sound out my words properly. I know to use a capital letter at the start of a sentence, a full-stop at the end and when to use a question mark."

"Mackenzie was excited to participate in the Old School Phonics program. It helped her so much. The small groups and one-on-one teaching benefitted Mackenzie’s learning and made it easier for her to concentrate."

"We were told about our son needing extra help with his reading at the start of Covid lockdown. Caroline more than delivered. She was able to give both one on one and team-based learning. We saw an immediate improvement in our son’s confidence when doing his daily reader and then went on to wanting to read a second book. Caroline understands that each child has different learning needs. By taking the time to know the child she has the patience and experience to give the child the best chance at reading. We wholeheartedly recommend Caroline and Old School Phonics to anyone."
