Reading & Writing Readiness Summer Sessions

About These Sessions

We're running a free online Reading & Writing Readiness course over the summer holidays for children who haven't had any phonics instruction yet. Across 10 fun and interactive sessions, led by a qualified teacher, your child will enjoy pre-reading and pre-writing activities that build the foundations for phonics and early literacy.

Each session lasts just 15 minutes, a perfect length for little learners. The group meets twice a week, on Mondays at 1:15 pm and Thursdays at 1:15 pm, starting the week of Monday 20 July 2026 and running for five weeks.

What Your Child Will Gain

• Pre-reading activities that develop listening skills, sound awareness and a love of stories.
• Pre-writing activities that build fine motor control and mark-making confidence.
• A gentle, playful introduction to learning together online, ready for phonics and the classroom.

Who Is This For?

Parents of pre-Reception and pre-primary children, or any child who hasn't started formal phonics education yet. No preparation is needed, just a curious little learner. If your child is already ready for structured phonics teaching, take a look at our phonics tuition instead.
