Aims & approach

Crackerjack Kids specialise in building confidence and teaching literacy and numeracy to students with specific learning differences.

Crackerjack Kids offers educational support services for children facing challenges like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and school readiness. Their approach:

  • Aims to help children achieve their full potential through tailored learning support to build confidence and engagement in learning.
  • Emphasises collaboration with parents and teachers, multi-sensory instruction, and early intervention.
  • Costs depend on the assessment and program chosen, with an initial assessment determining the best course of action for each child.

Implementation support

  • Access to professional facilitator, instructor or mentor

Evidence

Key areas include phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, and basic numeracy concepts. The program emphasises early intervention and aims to build a solid foundation for future academic success and wellbeing outcomes.
