Reading Fairy is developed by early reading experts:
Created by early reading experts, Emily Guille-Marrett and Charlotte Raby, Reading Fairy classes are designed to develop the crucial building blocks for reading and language development from 1-5 years. Our unique programme is based on the latest research and best early years practice.
At Reading Fairy, we believe in learning through play and nurturing a love of reading. We use fun props and sensory experiences to engage and delight your child. Our activities include: sensory and performance storytelling, songs and rhymes, first words and fun phonics games, picture book time and more!
Classes are limited to 10 families per session, to ensure your child gets the best start for reading for life. Research indicates this is the optimum time for children of this age, to engage and reap the rewards of their learning.
Each session is split into different age ranges, and tailored so that your child is having fun at the appropriate level for them.
Reading Fairy's progressive programme grows with every child:
STAGE 1/2: Toddler Tales (Age 1+) -encourages early language and literacy
STAGE 3: Story Stars (Age 2+) -introduces letters and sounds for early reading fun
STAGE 4: Reading Recruits (Ages 3 and 4) -develops skills for reading to prepare your child for reading at school.
