WHAT ARE READING FAIRY CLASSES?

Created by early reading experts, Emily Guille-Marrett and Charlotte Baby, 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, puppets, bubbles, musical instruments 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!

Each session is split into different age ranges, and tailored so that your child is having fun at the appropriate level for them:

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 - 5) - develops skills for reading to prepare your child for reading at school.
