Discovery Live

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" - Dr. Seuss

Reading is an essential life skill and teaching children to read opens a world of opportunities. Studies show that reading makes a big difference to children’s educational performance.  In fact, a child’s ability to read is more likely to determine whether a child does well at school than their social or economic background.

As a parent, you are your child’s most important educator and have the potential to make a huge difference to their outcomes.

During this Discovery Live, we will share with you tools to support your child in the early stages of learning to read.

We will share:

• An understanding of key terminology used in phonics
• An understanding of National Expectations and the stages of phonics teaching and learning
• An understanding of how phonics is taught in schools
• A bank of ideas you can use at home to support your child
• An understanding of reading fluency and strategies that help to build this
• An understanding of reading comprehension and skills that link to this
• Ways to develop reading for pleasure

We hope you can join us for this Discovery Live on Monday 4th April at 7pm.
