How does the magic of Reading Fairy work?

Reading Fairy classes for 1-5 year-olds have been developed by early years reading experts to give children the best start for learning to read. Our unique progressive Reading Fairy curriculum is based on the latest research and best early years practice. Classes are approximately 40 minutes.

Reading Fairy nurtures a love of reading for life

Reading Fairy’s curriculum supports every age and stage of a child’s preschool reading journey. We believe in learning through play. Our activities include: sensory and performance storytelling, songs and rhymes, first words and fun phonics games, picture book time and more!

Studies show that the benefits of reading for enjoyment are far reaching and include: academic success at school, creative and imaginative thinking, relationship building, developing empathy, feeling self-confident, and improving well-being.

Reading Fairy’s programme grows with every child

Reading Fairy classes are designed to develop the crucial building blocks for reading and language development from 1-5 years.

There are 4 progressive stages in a child’s Reading Fairy journey:

• Stage 1: Book Babies (Age 1+) encourages early language and literacy

• Stage 2: Toddler Tales (Age 18 months+) active early language and literacy

• Stage 3: Story Stars (Age 2+) explores letters and sounds for early reading fun

• Stage 4: Reading Recruits (Ages 3 and 4) prepares your child for learning to read at school.

Reading Fairy’s unique characters support children’s learning
