My Twist On A Tale Competition
On International Literacy Day (Tuesday 8 September), we'll be launching our My Twist on a Tale writing competition for its second year! This free competition, now open to four- to 19-year-olds across the UK, will encourage young people to let their imagination run wild as they write a story based on our new theme for 2020: Everyday Heroes.
Guide to phonics
We've created a straightforward guide to supporting phonics learning at home, with a progression chart to show you the order in which phonic sounds are taught in school and a FAQs document.
Supporting children With SEND
We're aware that school closures will have particular concerns for parents of children with special education needs (SEND). We have created a guide for supporting children with SEND, with strategies to help you support your child at home and guidance on using our Rapid series for struggling readers.
Enjoy reading with your child
As parents, we all want the best for our children. We’re probably all aware that it’s important to make sure they are confident, fluent readers who enjoy reading, but often it’s hard to know where to start. Should you read to your baby? What can you do to help get your children familiar with words and reading before they go to school? And how do you help them progress at school when the teaching is different nowadays?
We've created a guide to reading with children which we hope will help answer all your questions and give you advice on helping struggling readers.
