If they can’t learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn—adapting our approach to meet individual needs and helping every child become a confident, successful reader.

Every small step counts. Through positive adult modelling, repetition, and short bursts of focused learning, we help children build confidence, resilience, and understanding. We recognise that every child learns differently, so we continually adapt and refine our approaches in response to their individual needs, interests, and progress. Regular sensory and movement breaks support wellbeing, ensuring that children feel regulated, ready to learn, and valued. By nurturing both minds and hearts, we create an environment where every child can thrive.
When completing activities from below, please consider:
Adult modelling
Lots of repetition
Short bursts of learning (5-10 mins)
Encourage regular sensory/movement breaks
Each week the children will bring home at least one new picture book, phonics flashcards, words or a reading book.
Use a picture book at the beginning of your child's reading journey to establish a reading routine together.
Wordless books are an incredible opportunity to develop oracy skills and support literacy rich conversations.
Use the phonics flashcards to begin to identify the sounds to blend into simple words.
Read together to develop accuracy.
