The Helping Parents Helping Children Workshop was created to support parents in teaching their children in reading, phonics, mathematics and writing. By understanding the techniques taught in schools, parents will have the tools they need to encourage their child in their home learning. Parents will be taught key teaching and learning strategies. Set in a casual home environment, the session will cover specific topic areas in small, intimate groups – giving you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have about your child’s progress.
The Workshop is ideal for parents with children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
