The funding will be used to deliver online activities and training to give parents and carers techniques to help children who are finding reading and writing challenging to discover the joy in reading. The project aims not just to help children learn to read but will also serve as a peer support network by using the activities to help open up dialogue between parents/carers through talking about their experiences coping with the pandemic to improve their own wellbeing and build their resilience to manage home schooling in any future lockdowns.
