Joy was in Grade 4 when I enrolled her for Edublox lessons. I got feedback from her teacher Mrs Govender that she was struggling to read and write. She was failing her spelling tests and not meeting the Grade 4 standard. I also assessed her books and she was really struggling. She couldn’t spell at all. Joy couldn’t read a book on her own and couldn’t do her homework.
I was so worried and asked other parents in her school about extra lessons that could benefit her. It was then I heard about Edublox, and I didn’t hesitate to call Monique who assisted me. Joy did a written test which confirmed that she needed a lot of assistance. Monique advised me that Joy needed to attend two lessons per week at Edublox.
I started noticing improvement within three months because she started doing homework on her own. When I came back from work she would only show me the things that she struggled with when she was doing her work. It was a relief from me and I also got report from the class teacher that Joy is improving. They started asking me about what I was doing to her because she has now improved remarkably.
Joy managed to get the certificate for improvement and a certificate for Maths. Since she started improving in reading it became easy for her to understand problem solving in Mathematics. Her awards motivated Joy to work very hard and then she excelled in all the subjects. Monique also noticed the improvement and her lessons were then reduced to once a week. Joy started joining reading competitions at her school such as Phendulani due to her increased confidence in reading. Joy was third best student in Grade 6. In Grade 7 she was selected as a prefect and she continued to get awards in Mathematics.
