ABOUT brilliant Brains
Identifying the uniqueness in each child, and recognizing the challenges they face, Brilliant Brains is dedicated on providing the skills to maximise personal and academic potential.
“Brilliant Brains” are dedicated to assisting children with reading difficulties or children that is only beginning to read.
Our team aim to rapidly close the gap between your child’s potential and his performance, with a strong emphasis on developing a positive outlook toward reading and boosting confidence.
Reading is a complex skill to master.
As formal schooling begins, children learn the ‘code of reading’ – those sounds are represented by letters, and these can be manipulated to form words and sentences which hold meaning. This is an essential skill and should become automatic as the child becomes a proficient reader.
Brain scanning research has allowed us to see that various areas of the brain are accessed simultaneously for effective reading. Where this does not happen, a reading difficulty occurs and reading problems can become learning problems.
A child should improve 12 months in reading skill for every passing year. If they have a slower rate of acquiring this skill, the gap keeps widening between where they are and where they should be, falling further and further behind. This is the challenge in remediating – closing the gap as quickly as possible.

The importance of extra lessons
Each student is different; they have their own thinking capacities and a different way of interpreting information. Some students understand the concepts at one go but some don’t. They may not even approach for help, thinking what their fellow classmates will think about them. In extra classes, teachers understand the student’s need and even the students open up and freely consult the teacher for help.
why extra classes?
* Improves performance in any area of struggle or subject.
* Helps with preparations before exams.
* Gain knowledge about the things or topics you haven't learnt about at school e.g new topic on Life Science about the brain.
* Improves your child's social skill to play and learn with other children.
This comprehensive program systematically teaches all letters and their sounds and uses games and word cards to work on the skills necessary to begin reading.
