Literacy and learning support helps a learner with reading, writing or related school tasks. Support can take place in school or through other programmes; the approach should respond to the learner's profile rather than assume one method suits everyone.
The directory listings below are a starting point for enquiries, not endorsements or a guarantee of availability. Confirm current services, eligibility, fees and application details directly with each provider.

Support may break reading or writing into teachable steps and provide guided practice matched to the learner's current skills.
A school or provider may adapt text, instructions, time or tools to help a learner participate in classroom tasks.
Educators may use work samples and learning observations to review whether strategies are helping and what needs adjustment.
A guide to the process
Frequency and course length vary by learner, school and provider; there is no universal schedule. Ask how often support takes place, how much practice is expected and when progress is reviewed.
Schools can arrange support measures for students with specific learning difficulties under Education Bureau guidance. Private tutoring, specialist teaching and a diagnostic assessment are different services; ask the school about its process and confirm any assessment pathway separately.
Learning support is not necessarily a diagnostic assessment. EDB describes school-based tiered support for students with specific learning difficulties; private tuition and specialist assessment have different purposes.
