Help with Reading, Writing and Numbers

Many adults have problems with reading, writing and using numbers. This makes it hard to get a job, stay in a job, or cope with daily life. People who have these problems are not at all stupid but they maybe did not get the help they needed when they were young, or they missed out on school for some reason.

CraigOwl can help you to succeed with the reading, writing and number work that you need for everyday life or for work.

We can help you to do what you need to do:

• read forms or instructions
• use the Internet to find information
• read newspapers or books
• do simple sums
• fill in forms
• work out your wage slip
• write letters or emails
• use a simple calculator
• pass tests for college
• Understand your electricity bill
• help your children with homework
• pass your driving theory test

You may have been told you suffer from dyslexia -we can screen you for this and help you to overcome any problems.

It is not like going back to school, our learning centres are informal and friendly.
