Happy 2018! Our aim for this year is to enable parents to help their children with the trickier aspects of their education and learning, by providing free, shareable and parent- friendly resources.

We hope that by helping parents we will be helping our students have more support when they need it and not just during our lessons.

Our Comprehensive Comprehension Guide for Early Learners, is the first of a series of resources, so do pass it on to friends that could benefit! We welcome any feedback and suggestions on topics that you and your child might have struggled with.

As teachers we know the importance of reading but also how much of a struggle it can be for some! So we are writing a tried and tested guide to how parents got their children reading. Please let us know how you managed to help your child over their first reading hurdle!
