English to Help Your Children (Primary)

The "English to Help your Children" (Primary) course is a series of friendly and supportive sessions that explore how your children are taught in primary school. The course will be delivered by a Primary English subject expert who will provide the opportunity to learn about up-to-date practice used by Primary Teachers and discover and try out method methods that you can use at home to help your children to consolidate their learning and become more confident at school.

During the course you will explore:

• Phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decoding words
• Reading through blending sounds in unfamiliar words
• The use of Prefixes and Suffixes
• What are children expected to know by Year 6? What do KS2 assessment questions look like?

You will also develop your own literacy skills around reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar, which will help you to become more confident with supporting your child on their learning journey up to KS2.

There are now formal assessments, but we will track your progress. To help us get a better understanding of your maths needs you will complete an initial assessment at the start of the course.

A range of financial support may be available for adult students to help towards the cost of your fees, equipment, childcare and/or other expenses while studying, depending on your personal circumstances and the course you are studying. For more details visit nscg.ac.uk/finance
