FAQs

This workbook is designed to support the 6 Steps to Reading Challenge week, so is best suited to kids between the ages of 2 and 8 (or from preschool to Year 2). Some activities will be better suited to some age groups, but I’ve made sure to include lots of activities for all ages and video support to help you adapt them to suit your kids. Many of the activities can be played with kids beyond Year 2, so you can keep using them for years to come!

While the workbook is designed to be used alongside the Challenge week, there’s loads of information inside that you can continue to use well into the future. You can keep coming back to the book band descriptions as your child makes progress with their reading, so you can ensure they’re on the correct level. Every time your child is reluctant to read, you can check out the quick activities to try (I’ve used many of them with kids in Years 5 and 6!). The activities and assessments for the 6 steps to reading can be used over and over agin, well into the future. Every time you play a game, your child will get better at the skill it focuses on, so there is no ‘end point’ to the workbook. You can keep using it again and again.

Reach out! I’m very happy to help with any questions and would be delighted to support you with your child’s reading.

I currently offer a free, private 1:1 session for every parent where we dive in to your concerns and queries about your child’s reading.

We’ll work together to assess your child against the 6 steps for reading (using the assessment booklet that’s included in this workbook), work out where their reading roadblocks are (if there are any!) and discuss what they need to do to reach the next step. We’ll talk about what you can reasonably fit into your lifestyle and I’ll give you a series of games and activities that suit you and your child.

We’ll then work together to discuss how you can fit these activities into your day-to-day life to ensure your child makes amazing progress, quickly!

But wait, who am I?
How do I know this will help?

I’m Jen, a Primary School teacher, Dyslexia tutor and parent support coach. I’ve been a teacher for nearly a decade and have taught Nursery, Reception and KS1 (as well as a few other ages too!). I’ve taught hundreds of children to read, and I’m passionate about supporting parents to do the same.Β 

We all know that our kids learn best when they’re having fun, and we also know that reading is one of the most important things our kids will ever learn. That’s why I’ve put together this pack of games that will help your children make progress with their reading, whilst also being active and enjoying themselves.

If you want to make sure your child keeps making progress over the summer, or you just want some activities that you can do together, this pack is full of ideas that will help!Β
