Guiding Parents and Guardians: Helping Your Child with Literacy

This course is designed for parents and guardians to help them support their child’s Literacy development. It can be challenging to find time to assist our children, which may be due to a lack of time, a lack of understanding of how to help, or a lack of confidence in our own Literacy skills. However, teaching parents/guardians some simple strategies and approaches can empower them to build upon what is being done at school and reinforce the key messages of good Literacy at home.

This course explores:

  • The importance of and how to promote Literacy at home.
  • Guiding, sharing and enjoying the reading.
  • Aiding vocabulary and spelling.

Parents will leave the session with lots of resources, strategies and methods to help support their children. There are two separate versions available: one for KS3 and one for KS4 parents/guardians.

We have used Learnspark for a number of years now to deliver support and training for parents and students to get them revision ready. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and are so entertaining! Parents in particular have found the support invaluable and we have found the sessions an excellent starting point to develop our partnership with parents in their child's learning.

Working with Learn Spark is an absolute pleasure, both in terms of their planning and execution of professional development sessions. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to ensure the training is interactive, informed by research, and bespoke to our school’s specific requirements and ethos is exemplary. They always exude a positive outlook and demeanour; the energy and enthusiasm they bring to TPL sessions are key to staff enjoyment and engagement.

The staff and students in St Patrick’s College have benefited greatly from the training and workshops provided to us over the years from Learn Spark. We have been inspired and supported in our journey to raise standards and meet the needs of students through the sessions we have participated in. We have enjoyed the high energy, interactive, engaging and progressive content and delivery. We have found ourselves returning to Learn Spark to secure new tailored training to help us meet the objectives set out in our School Development Plan and we are always assured that the content is both current and creative, solution focused and relevant.

We have worked with Learn Spark in several areas across our school.  The workshops and support provided, whether to further enhance our professional capacity or to build the wider skill set of our students or engage positively with parents, have all been interesting, engaging, energetic and beneficial to all involved.   Paul and his team provide a first-rate service and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
