Structured Literacy Services is a tutoring business in Havelock North, run by primary-trained teachers who teach reading, spelling and writing to children who find literacy hard. It works from an evidence-based Structured Literacy approach, which it says suits children with learning differences such as dyslexia, and also children who simply need a boost to keep up in class. Each child's first session includes tests of spelling, reading and phonological awareness, and the results shape an individual teaching plan. Lessons run for one hour and follow a set order: phonological awareness, then the alphabetic code, spelling, reading and writing, using decodable texts. As at 2026 the fee is $90 per lesson, with $10 each term for materials. Parents are also asked to set aside 10 to 15 minutes of homework a day, five days a week. The business does not carry out diagnostic assessments, but it will recommend outside providers for a full assessment. Its address is 398 Napier Road, Havelock North.
