    How to support reading at home

    Whether you're a parent, carer, teacher or more than one of the above, encouraging reading in the home is going to be key to developing a number of important skills.

    Our reading workshop for parents and carers is filled with great resources that can be taken home to help support good reading practice from reward stickers to motivate them to read a regular amount every day.

     It also has advice on how to talk with your children about their reading.
