A Child's Learning Journey with Clear Learning
Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us.
We taste only sacredness.
Rumi
Learning for a child should be a fun adventure where they quickly and easily grasp new ideas. As children learn new tasks they begin to search for similar knowledge, tasks or skills previously learnt and then apply this information to help them continue to develop their learning journey. Linking learning with other things already known changes a child’s perception, empowers them and therefore they learn more with ease.
Evelyn works with babies, toddlers, pre school age, school children and teenagers. She also works with families and adults to support a holistic development of learning, perception and brain integration. Her high level of skill in working with families has been built from her personal parenting journey and years in public education along with her clinical knowledge in Kinesiology.
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
George Bernard Shaw

My daughter, in Year 7, was lacking confidence and was struggling at school.
Thanks to Evelyn, within 10 weeks my daughter’s teacher has commented on more class involvement and greater confidence. The writing strategies that Evelyn taught were invaluable for the recent NAPLAN.
I have booked another 10 lessons with Evelyn to allow my daughter to progress further with confidence
and improve her grades as she will be starting High School next year.
Look forward to seeing you next Wednesday 18th May.
My daughter struggled with reading right from the first attempt in Grade 1. She didn't like it and it didn't make any sense to her, everything we tried seemed to fail. By the end of Grade 1 with the assistance of her teachers, the dedication of the parent volunteers, and her father and I reading with her every night we finally got to level 8, close to the benchmark for the end of Year 1. She struggled with her level 8 books and there was no anticipation of a new book to read, it was regarded with dread and quite regularly tears.
Now in Grade 2 and I was informed that she would be having extra reading sessions with another teacher. After the first 2 sessions I noticed a remarkable improvement. Then to my surprise, the next week my daughter was reading fluently not asking for help, except on the really hard words, trying to work it out for herself. In fact you could say she had confidence in her ability to read. This was even more remarkable when I found out that she had not read the book before, not even with the tutor Evelyn. A couple of days later she was in her bedroom and called out to me, she had just noticed all the great books she had in her room. (Those books have been there for a very long time but she refused to even look at them). She and I sat down on the floor and looked through them together and even read a couple.
I know that this reading tutoring program has made such a difference to my daughter, her confidence in reading, her belief that she can at least give it a go. Now she tries to read everything, signs, the junk mail, subtitles on movies and her birthday cards. She actually looks forward to her reading homework and wants to do it before anything else. I can not express my gratitude to Evelyn and her tutoring program. Every child who struggles with reading will benefit by being included in this program, it makes such a huge difference.It made a huge difference to my daughter.

"Clear Pathways for Kids Learning,
A Parents Guidebook"
by Evelyn Wakeford
"A very easy and informative read which has helped me understand how I can effectively assist my children to learn."
A simple ebook which empowers parents to support their child to learn to read in the home. Proven strategies that encourage the child to become an independent reader without all the tears. Find out how to get your child reading less like a robot and sound more like talking. Simple steps to help them to comprehend what they are reading. See what parents had to say testimonials
"Since following the seven reading strategies with my children I have noticed major positive changes in their reading abilities.
My son now scans the book before we read it and checks for any ‘tricky’ words. Following just this simple step alone has made a huge difference in the enjoyment of the book. By checking for these ‘tricky’ words prior to him actually reading means he doesn’t have to stop and stumble. He now actually reads ‘like he is talking’ all on his own. It is rare for me now to have to tell him to ‘make it sound like talking’ as he is doing this when he reads now."

"For working with children I would especially like to mention my 'I AM' Pools of Light Ascended Masters and Angels cards. I myself have worked with several children with these cards with positive and lasting results....Why? The images are created from fractals then into mandalas, These patterns seem to really resonate with children. They also work on a very similar vibrational level to Masarau Emoto's water crystal images." Kindly offered by Gitama Day
I think these are wonderful resources for practitioners, parents and teachers alike. Just allow the child to select the card that they like, let them take some time to look at the card and "absorb" it. Then they may wish to sleep with that card, do a healing drawing or just being with the card has been enough for the healing to take place. I will be using these cards in my clinic with balances so why not book an appointment now. Thank you
Each of us has a favourite learning style. It is the way we learn to do a new activity best. Our courses are based on visual, auditory and kineasthetic learning as these processes working freely allow the child to interact with their learning in a very self empowering way. Brain integration is an integral part in assuring the child can easily access new information by retrieving stored information and finding effective and independent ways to link the known to the unknown.
Mad, mad, mad Max the Learner!! ...
... Everybody loves him, his antics and his tricks. See what mischief happens to Max when he sings one of his favourite songs all about learning. Go Max!!
If one of these learning processes are blocked then specialists may be required to assist with specific programs such as the LEAP kinesiology program, Paediatrician Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Vision Therapy and Speech Therapy and the Virtues Project. Please see Articles tab for specific material related to finding these practitioners. It is best to go through the specific specialist registered site to find a qualified, registered practioner in your area.
"Thank you for your support, through the reading program. We have noticed unbelievable changes in her confidence and her ability to use the reading strategies. We have gone up 6 reading levels and she really enjoys her reading now. Thanking you."

Children are often categorised or labelled as 'low achievers', 'gifted students', 'unmotivated'... the list goes on and on.
What the child needs is a chance of learning and to be given optimal conditions to prove himself/herself.
Evelyn
Think about how your child likes to learn. Observe your children playing and work out what their favourite learning style is. It is important to remember that children having difficulty with processing information in any of the styles often do not have any intellectual problems. For some children processing is easy, for others it is like a minefield that is difficult and tiring to navigate. We discuss simple steps to help parents improve and maintain their child’s learning processes and brain integration.
Clear Learning runs regular workshops or one-on-one consultations for parents so that you can provide a nurturing learning environment at home. We believe parents are the first and most important teachers, advocates and motivators for their children’s learning. We provide the latest information, research and practical ideas for parents to guide their children along the road to being motivated lifelong learners.
Clear Learning looks forward to answering your queries, providing you with professional support, advice and feedback. Our mission is to povide quality service that is research based, effective and to improves you and your families experience in your special journey assisting you to have a rewarding and healthy life.
