Message from foster carer Katrina…
Prior to tutoring the children were struggling to keep up with their peers in the classroom and socially in the playground. J has been diagnosed with a receptive language disorder which means she often doesn’t understand information that is delivered verbally, and because of her low self-confidence, she never asked for clarification and so sat in class feeling overwhelmed.
Since taking part in the Little Stars Kids program, her teacher told me at the last parent-teacher interview that J is now actively asking questions and seeking clarification in class.
This means she is not only understanding more of the classroom content but also gaining confidence.
