Help Hunter learn to read & write

Auckland

Simply put, dyslexia is a specific learning disability that makes it far harder to learn to read, write or do number work. It is a processing difficulty that makes achieving success in literacy and numeracy a real challenge.

Dyslexia continues through life, but can be assessed and then its effects can be diminished by specialist strategies and techniques.

I believe my 7 1/2 year old son Hunter has some degree of dyslexia, however a diagnostic assessment is the first essential step in finding out why someone is having learning problems. The cost of the assessment is $650 plus GST (so $747.50).

On top of this, Hunter is starting specialised tutoring at Kip McGrath at $58 per weekly lesson.

With your help, we can ensure Hunter gets the extra assistance he needs so he can succeed not only at school, but in life.

Leah Anderton's involvement (page creator)

As Hunter's mum, I want to help him get the support he needs to avoid him falling anymore behind than he already is.

Use of funds

The money raised will be used to pay for the assessment & if there is any additional money raised, this will be used towards his weekly tutoring & learning resources.
