Evidence-based literacy intervention for all learners

Why Fish in a Tree Education?

At Fish in a Tree we believe that all students can access the world through literacy when provided with evidence-based instruction tailored to the individual. Unfortunately, many students do not receive the support they need at school. Fish in a Tree provides students with the instruction and adjustments they need in order to maximise their potential, experience success, and access all areas of learning through literacy.
