PERSONALISED READING SUPPORT

Weekly one-to-one

reading and phonics lessons

to help your child become

a confident reader.

Your child's school wants you to read with your child every day.

Reading together at home helps children become confident, successful readers.

But for many families, this isn't always easy.

You don't have enough time after a busy day.
English is not your first language.
Your child doesn't enjoy reading, and reading together becomes a daily battle instead of an enjoyable time together.
You want to help your child, but you're not sure how.

That's where I can help.

Which of These Sounds Like Your Child?

Every child's reading journey looks different. Here's what I usually see — and wherever your child fits, every lesson is built around them specifically, not a fixed level.

Early Readers

Often, but not always, around ages 4–6

Your child is curious about letters and sounds. They may already know a few, and they're ready to start putting them together. At school, this stage usually means starting phonics — recognising letter-sound correspondence, blending sounds to read words, and practising letter formation. Lessons reinforce exactly this, with focused one-to-one practice and simple activities you can continue together at home.

Struggling Readers

Often, but not always, around ages 6–10

Reading feels harder for your child than it does for their classmates. They might avoid reading time, mix up similar-looking words, or read slowly and lose confidence along the way. Sometimes this is dyslexia or another learning difference — recognised or not yet. Sometimes it's simply hard to keep up and stay focused when a whole class is learning at the same pace. This isn't about labels. One-to-one lessons let us slow down, work at your child's own pace, and close the gap between where they are now and where their class is heading.

Advanced Readers

Often, but not always, ages 6+

Your child already reads well — maybe ahead of their age group — and simple books don't hold their interest anymore. They're ready to go beyond what's covered in their school reading programme: deeper comprehension, richer vocabulary, and books matched to their actual reading level, not just their age. Lessons keep pace with your child, not the curriculum.

No matter where your child starts, every plan is built around them — not a category. We begin with what your child can already do, and build from there.

How the Reading Support Works

1. Choose the right plan

Choose the plan that best matches your child's needs.

Reading Excellence= 3 lessons per week – Best for children who need intensive reading support or faster progress.
Reading Progress = 2 lessons per week – Recommended for most children.
Reading Practice = 1 lesson per week – Suitable for children who only need regular reading practice.

Every child is different. Each lesson is personalised to your child's current reading level, strengths and next learning goals.

2. Check the lesson calendar

Before purchasing a plan, please check that there are enough lesson times available for your preferred schedule.

This is especially important if you choose a plan with 2 or 3 lessons per week.

3. Buy your 4-week block

Your plan is paid once at the beginning.

Choose from:

12 lessons (3 lessons each week)
8 lessons (2 lessons each week)
4 lessons (1 lesson each week)

Your plan is valid for 4 weeks from the start date.

4. Book your lessons

After purchasing your plan, book the lesson times that work best for your family.

To guarantee your preferred times, I recommend booking all lessons for the entire 4-week block as soon as possible.

5. Attend your personalised lessons

Every lesson is individually planned for your child.

Lessons are adjusted after every session based on your child's progress, making each lesson as effective as possible.

Research consistently shows that children make stronger progress when they receive reading instruction several times each week. Frequent practice helps children:

remember new letter sounds and words more easily,
build reading fluency faster,
develop consistent reading habits,
gain confidence,
make quicker overall progress.

For most children, 2 lessons each week provides an excellent balance between progress and family life.

Some children—particularly those who are struggling readers or need reading intervention—benefit from 3 lessons each week, as the increased frequency helps establish a routine, reduces the time between practice sessions, and accelerates skill development.

While 1 lesson each week can still be valuable, it works best for children who already have a solid reading routine at home and need ongoing guidance and practice rather than intensive support.

6. Use all lessons within your 4-week block

Your lessons may be booked at any time during your 4-week plan.

For example, if you purchase an 8-lesson plan, you may book all 8 lessons at any times within those 4 weeks, provided appointments are available.

Any lessons that are not used before the end of the 4-week block expire and cannot be carried forward to the next block.

7. Need to change a lesson?

You may reschedule a booked lesson up to 2 hours before the lesson starts.

The new lesson must take place within the same 4-week block and is subject to available appointment times.

Because lesson availability changes as other families book, I cannot guarantee that your preferred replacement time will still be available.

Each Lesson Includes

Every 30-minute lesson is carefully structured to help your child refresh essential reading skills before the new school year.

Quick review of previously learned letter sounds and phonics patterns
Reading practice using carefully matched decodable books
High-frequency word review to build reading fluency
Individual guidance, feedback and encouragement throughout the lesson
A short home practice activity to reinforce learning between sessions

Each lesson is personalised to your child's current reading level, ensuring they leave every lesson feeling more confident and ready for school.

Adult Participation

Reading is a partnership between teacher, child, and family. You choose the level of involvement that works best for your child and your family:

Child Only. Your child works independently with me during the session. Best for confident, independent learners and older children who focus better without a parent visible. You receive a written session summary after each lesson.
Child and Parent Together. You sit alongside your child during the session, sharing one device. Best for very young learners, anxious readers, or families committed to reinforcing the methodology at home. You see exactly how each skill is taught and can replicate it during home practice.
Parent as Silent Observer. You join the session from a separate device with your camera and microphone off. Best for children who become self-conscious with a parent visible, while still giving you full visibility into your child's learning and progress.

All three options are equally valid. You can change between them at any time — what works at the start of the programme may change as your child grows in confidence.

Recommended Learning Tools

1. Laptop or Computer (Essential)

A laptop or desktop computer with a microphone is required for Zoom lessons. A larger screen makes reading and interactive activities easier.

2. Headphones (Optional)

Help reduce background noise and improve concentration, especially in busy homes.

3. Tablet with Stylus (Recommended)

Ideal for writing, drawing, annotating shared worksheets, and using a note-taking app as a digital whiteboard during lessons.

4. Notebook & Colour Pencils

Perfect for writing, drawing, and completing lesson activities. If your child uses a tablet with a stylus, these may not be needed.

5. Printer (Optional)

Useful for printing reading passages, worksheets, and home practice materials if your child prefers working on paper.

6. Note-taking App

A note-taking app allows your child to annotate shared lesson materials, complete digital worksheets, and organise lesson notes in one place.

Home Practice

Reading confidence grows through regular practice between lessons. After each session, your child will receive a short home activity that reinforces the phonics patterns and reading skills covered during the lesson.

You'll also receive access to carefully selected reading and phonics resources, allowing your child to practise independently in just 5–10 minutes a day.

The activities are matched to your child's current reading level, making home practice enjoyable, achievable and stress-free.

Your Teacher

Master's-Qualified Special Education Teacher
Reading Interventionist
Behaviour Support Specialist

Hi, I'm Nikol — a Special Education Teacher, Reading Interventionist, and Behaviour Support Specialist with a Master of Arts in Special Education (University of Arizona) and over 15 years of international classroom experience across Thailand, including several years as a Special Education Teacher at the former Mountain Smile School for Children with Special Educational Needs (now The Village International Education Centre) and, most recently, leading Reception classrooms at Rugby School Thailand (www.rugbyschool.ac.th).

I hold certifications in Systematic and Explicit Phonics, Structured Literacy, ABA Behaviour Support, and Teaching Reading and Writing to PK-5 — all grounded in the Science of Reading.

Now working one-to-one with children online, I bring the same structured, evidence-based teaching that prepares children in respected international schools for confident reading — wherever your family is.

Choose the Right Reading Support Plan

Every child learns at their own pace. That's why I offer three levels of personalised reading support, allowing you to choose the amount of weekly practice that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Each plan includes individual one-to-one lessons tailored to your child's current reading level, strengths and next learning goals. Whether your child needs intensive reading intervention, consistent support or regular reading practice, you'll receive the same personalised teaching and evidence-based approach—only the lesson frequency changes.

For the best results, I generally recommend 2 lessons per week. Children with significant reading difficulties often benefit from 3 lessons per week, while 1 lesson per week is ideal for maintaining progress alongside regular reading at home.

All plans are purchased as a 4-week block and paid with a single upfront payment.

Frequently asked questions

Versayle Reading is a personalised one-to-one online reading support programme for children aged 4–10.

Every lesson is tailored to your child's current reading level, strengths, and learning goals. Whether your child is just beginning to read, finding reading difficult, or already reading confidently and ready for greater challenge, lessons are carefully planned to help them become fluent, confident readers.

Teaching is based on the Science of Reading and combines systematic phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and a genuine love of reading.

Versayle Reading is more than homework help or extra reading practice.

Every lesson is carefully planned using structured, evidence-based teaching informed by the Science of Reading. Rather than simply helping children complete school work, I identify the skills each child needs to develop and build lessons around those individual learning goals.

With over 15 years of international teaching experience and specialist qualifications in reading intervention and special education, my focus is helping children build the strong reading foundations that support success across every subject.

Versayle Reading is designed for children aged 4–10 with a wide range of reading abilities.

Your child may benefit if they are:

learning to read for the first time,
finding reading more difficult than expected,
lacking confidence,
reluctant to read at home,
showing signs of dyslexia or another learning difference,
or already reading well but ready for greater challenge.

Because every lesson is personalised, children don't need to fit into a particular programme or reading level before they begin.

Versayle Reading is designed primarily for children aged 4–10 years.

This includes:

children preparing to start school,
early readers,
children developing reading fluency,
and older primary-aged children who need additional reading support or extension.

If your child is slightly younger or older than this age range, please get in touch. I'm always happy to discuss whether the programme would be a good fit.

Each lesson lasts 30 minutes and is delivered live online via Zoom.

Thirty minutes is the ideal length for focused, high-quality reading instruction. Children remain engaged, motivated, and ready to learn throughout the lesson without becoming mentally tired.

Every lesson is carefully planned in advance using personalised activities, reading materials, and books selected specifically for your child's current reading level and learning goals. This preparation allows lessons to move at a purposeful pace with smooth transitions between activities, keeping children actively involved from beginning to end.

For most children, a focused 30-minute lesson delivered consistently two or three times a week is more effective than a longer session.

Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled lesson can be rescheduled at no additional cost, subject to availability.

Lessons cancelled within 24 hours are deducted from your Reading Support Plan. The only exception is if your child is genuinely unwell. In this case, one lesson per 4-week plan may be rescheduled at no additional cost.

Each Reading Support Plan is valid for 4 weeks, and all lessons must be used within that period. Any unused lessons expire at the end of the 4-week plan.

To get the most from each lesson, I recommend having the following ready:

A laptop or desktop computer with a microphone for Zoom lessons.
A tablet with a stylus (recommended) for writing, annotating shared worksheets, and using a note-taking app as a digital whiteboard.
Alternatively, a notebook and coloured pencils for writing, drawing, and lesson activities.
A printer (optional) if you prefer to print reading passages and worksheets.
Headphones (optional) to reduce background noise and improve concentration.

I prepare all lesson materials, personalised activities, and carefully selected reading resources in advance, so you don't need to purchase any books or workbooks before starting. If I recommend a specific note-taking app or additional resources, I'll explain exactly what is needed as your child's learning programme develops.

Absolutely. Versayle Reading helps children build strong reading foundations from the very beginning. Lessons develop phonics, letter-sound knowledge, blending, early reading, and confidence through structured, engaging activities that are carefully matched to your child's stage of development.

Starting early can help children develop good reading habits and prevent small difficulties from becoming bigger challenges later on.

Yes. Many of the children I work with find reading difficult, lack confidence, or have begun to avoid reading altogether.

Every lesson is personalised to identify and strengthen the specific skills your child needs, whether that's phonics, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, or reading confidence. Lessons build on what your child already knows, helping them make steady progress in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Even when schools teach phonics well, classroom instruction is still delivered to large groups of children at a mixed pace. Some children miss small but important steps and quietly fall behind. Others need more explicit teaching, more repetition, or a slower and more systematic approach than a busy classroom can realistically provide.

Some children also have specific learning differences that make reading harder to develop automatically. They often benefit from structured, multi-sensory, one-to-one teaching that helps the underlying sound system finally make sense.

This program is designed for those children — to identify exactly where the breakdown happened, rebuild the missing foundations step by step, and help reading become genuinely secure and confident.

Almost certainly not. Most schools now teach phonics and early reading in a structured way, so the methodology I use will usually support and reinforce what your child is already learning at school. The difference is the pace, the precision, and the individual attention.

.

Schools may use different programs, terminology, or reading schemes, but strong foundational reading skills transfer across them all.

If your child’s school happens to use a different approach, the structured method I teach will still give them the underlying skills they may otherwise be missing — without creating confusion or contradiction.

Yes. The Year 1 phonics check is designed to identify children who need additional support — that's exactly what this program provides.

Children who don't meet the threshold typically have specific gaps in letter–sound knowledge or blending that haven't been resolved in classroom learning. The Reading Assessment will identify those gaps precisely, and the program is built to close them systematically.

Every child is different, so there is no single answer. Progress depends on your child's starting point, the underlying reading difficulties, lesson frequency, and regular practice between sessions.

Many parents notice improvements in confidence, engagement, and reading strategies within the first few weeks. Measurable improvements in reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension typically take longer and develop through consistent, structured practice over time.

For the best results, I recommend two or three lessons per week, as regular practice helps children build new reading skills more quickly and confidently. One lesson per week can still be beneficial, particularly for maintaining progress or supporting confident readers, but children who are significantly behind often benefit from more frequent sessions.

Throughout your child's learning journey, I'll monitor their progress and adjust each lesson to ensure they continue moving towards their reading goals.

Versayle Reading offers three 4-week Reading Support Plans, allowing you to choose the level of support that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Reading Excellence – 12 personalised lessons in 4 weeks (recommended for intensive reading support)
Reading Progress – 8 personalised lessons in 4 weeks
Reading Practice – 4 personalised lessons in 4 weeks
