Reading and Phonics Workshops
We held a parents and carers’ reading workshop where we shared a range of resources accessible from home. We were joined by Alison from the Neighbourhoods Service at Manchester City Council, who shared how to join the library and what else is on offer around Manchester. Our Assistant Principals for EYFS and KS1 also held a phonics workshop, taking our parents and carers through how phonics is taught in school and how they can support at home.
