Reading Fairy Classes UK

Have you got a September new starter?

Beginning nursery or school for the first time can feel like a huge leap for both children and parents.

Our dedicated Get Set for School and Get Set for Nursery classes are more than just sessions, they are carefully crafted early literacy experiences that build confidence, language and a love of reading at exactly the right moment in a child's life.

When should you start reading with your baby? 👶🏼

The answer is, it's never too early!

Hearing stories, songs and rhymes from infancy helps children develop essential communication skills, strengthening brain pathways and building vocabulary. However, new research from the National Literacy Trust reveals fewer than 1 in 2 parents (45.9%) read with their child daily.

With the National Year of Reading 2026 campaign also highlighting the decline in reading for pleasure we’ve put together some tips on how to get started: https://www.readingfairy.com/readingtoyourbaby

Seaside Inspiration 🐚

This term our Ready Fairy classes are taking you on an exciting adventure to the seaside.

We’re journeying through the sounds of the sea, hunting for the sh in shells with Phonic Fox and the s as we sing about the sailor who went to sea with Music Mouse.

It's also a fun topic to explore together outside of our sessions. Here are some of our favourite books about the seaside to enjoy at home or in the library:

Lucy and Tom at the Seaside by Shirley Hughes
Peekaboo Sea by Lara Green
Sharing a Shell by Julia Donaldson
A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle

Learning with Book Bear 🐻
�
While we love to sing, dance and bring out our musical instruments as we learn, for many children the best part of Reading Fairy classes is when they calmly snuggle down for a story with Book Bear, complete with their own little bear, blanket and book.
�
Of course we are still learning! This time in our sessions is a chance to develop book reading behaviours including book orientation, page turning, prediction and excitement.

National Share-a-Story Month 📕

May is National Share-A-Story Month (NSSM), an annual celebration of the power of storytelling and story sharing.
Founded by the Federation of Children's Book Groups it's all about bringing children and stories together, encouraging reading aloud in schools, libraries and at home.
If you're currently attending Reading Fairy classes you'll know how special sharing a book together can be.

You can learn more about National Share-a-Story Month on the FCBG website, including some great lists of books you can enjoy reading at home: https://fcbg.org.uk/booklists/

Alphabet Adventures 🍎

Going on Alphabet Adventures is a big part of the Reading Fairy curriculum and in our classes we've been singing The ABC Song together along with some of our favourite nursery rhymes.

Did you know that rhyming helps us hear the final sounds in words which is an important part of learning to read?

You can learn more about how Reading Fairy classes support the development of crucial building blocks and critical skills for learning to read and loving books for life on our website: https://www.readingfairy.com

Our Reading Fairy characters 👋🏻

Our classes are carefully created to support learning in stages:

Stage 1: Book Babies (from 12 months)

Stage 2: Toddler Tales (from 18 months)

Stage 3: Story Stars (from 24 months)

Stage 4: Reading Recruits (for 3 to 5 year-olds)

We meet our Reading Fairy characters along the way who all have something special to offer:

- Hear and sing nursery rhymes and action songs with Music Mouse
- Meet Chat Cat to talk about and listen to new words
- Enjoy a sensory story with Reading Fairy and Phonic Fox
- Meet the animals that represent each letter of the alphabet
- Share a book with Book Bear!

Reading Fairy classes allow children to learn as they play.

While each session ends with us settling down for a quiet story with book bear, first there's fun to be had as we journey through stories and sounds together the words are brought to life.

Here jumping up and getting involved isn't just accepted, it's encouraged!
