Learn the most impactful way to teach all children how to read
Reading is an important skill that makes all learning possible. Learning to read helps children build knowledge about the world, critical thinking skills, empathy and positive self-image. No child should miss out on that opportunity. That’s why we’ve developed a course that equips you with everything you need to teach reading in the most impactful way for every child – using a synthetic phonics approach.
