Why my child can read but doesn’t understand – Webinar for teachers and parents

Description

Does your child read the words perfectly… but when you ask “What was it about?” they freeze, guess, or say “I don’t know”?

You are not alone.

Many children can decode words (read aloud) but still struggle with reading comprehension — and this affects their confidence, school results, and love for learning.

This webinar is designed to help you understand why this happens and, more importantly, what you can do to fix it with simple, practical steps.

🎤 What This Webinar Is About

In this practical online session, Adri van Rooyen, the founder of Magnikid will explain the real reasons why children struggle with comprehension even when they can read fluently.

You’ll learn how to identify what is causing your child’s comprehension gap, and you’ll receive strategies that you can use immediately at home or in the classroom.

This is a must-attend webinar for:
✅ Parents of Grade 2–7 learners (also helpful for older learners)
✅ Teachers who want practical comprehension tools
✅ Homeschool parents
✅ Anyone supporting a struggling reader

⭐ Why This Webinar Matters

Reading comprehension is the foundation of success in every school subject.

When a child understands what they read, they:
✔ perform better in exams
✔ feel more confident
✔ become more independent learners
✔ enjoy reading more

This webinar gives you the tools to help your child move from simply reading words… to truly understanding meaning.
