Narelle Hose
Director & Literacy Specialist Teacher
DIPT (Teaching Exceptional Children), B.Ed (Primary), Registered Sounds-Write Phonics Practitioner
A qualified teacher registered with the Queensland College of Teachers, Narelle has over thirty years of experience in education. Throughout her career, Narelle has worked as a classroom teacher, intervention teacher, a SPELD specialist teacher as well as being an Academic Assessor for SPELD QLD. Having opened Connect Literacy and Learning Centre in 2014, Narelle continues to fulfil her passion for helping primary school children struggling with literacy and numeracy skills, by supporting them to reach their full potential.
As a mother of 3, Narelle understands the important role parents play in their child’s education. A parent's instincts and their unique insight into what their child’s needs are, places them in the best position to be their child’s strongest support and positive influence. With this in mind, we believe that education is a team effort and we strongly encourage our families to be involved in this aspect of their child’s learning journey.
Narelle has been trained in Dyslexia Level 1 and 2, Hickey Multisensory Language Course, Cracking the ABC Code, Sounds-Write, Reading Simplified and Lindamood Bell Seeing Stars.
