About us

Your child’s achievements are directly related to your child’s reading ability. Reading is the instrument, which enables your to learn!!! Whether it is maths, science, life orientation, or any language. If you can’t read you will suffer to cope in school, university, work etc.

If your child’s reading ability is not up to standard, he/she will not make progress even if they work very hard.

The Tina Cowley Reading Centre in Vanderbijlpark wants to help your child to improve his/her scholastic performance as well as his/her self esteem. By doing a scientific test we can identify a reading problem which can be addressed by determining the child’s reading level. We aim to improve children’s reading speed and comprehension and once a learner reaches their goal we experience a general improvement of 8-40 percent in the child’s school work in various learning areas.

Our program includes computerized as well as remedial classes. We make use of the Tina Cowley keybord that was specifically designed to comply with the way in which children start to read and write in school.

What we do

		A learning problem IS a reading problem. Tina Cowley Technology has identified a common attribute many experts assign to students who achieve well below average results when compared with classmates as a physiological condition which if addressed correctly, can be overcome. The research we have undertaken has repeatedly reinforced this physiological condition to be a reading disability that usually results in students stigmatised as “backward” and not an acute learning disability as generally thought. At our Reading Centres, through Scientific Reading Evaluations, we assess the various components brought into play when exercising this all important learning aspect and create a reading therapy program suited to the learner. Statistically we can boast of learners that have achieved an average percentage increases that range from 8% to as high as a 40% after completing the reading therapy program.

What we do In the memory method class, different therapies, namely basic skills, handle, brain gym, reading skills, eye kinetics and spelling rules are combined to enhance reading, learning and spelling. The basic skills of reading, like eye span, spatial relations, laterality, form perception and auditory perception are enhanced to equip the student with a much better reading quality. Eye kinetics is a series of eye exercises which is used in order to strengthen the eye muscles. Like any other muscle in the body, the eye muscles can also be strengthened through exercise. When the muscles in the eye are strengthened, it leads to smooth eye movement which is very important when reading. It is important to realise that these exercises won’t better vision.
