Making it REAL training

Making it REAL stands for Raising Early Achievement in Literacy. It is an evidence-based programme currently delivered by a team of Sheffield Family Hub Community Early Years Practitioners. The programme is aimed at parents/carers of children aged 2-4 years old. 

It builds on parents/carers knowledge and confidence so that they can help their child with reading, writing and creating a positive home learning environment. The programme is delivered via a combined approach of home visits and fun workshops.

Through the one-to-one visits and workshops parents/carers will be given practical ideas to support play, learning and early language development in readiness for school. Workers will support and guide families with any next steps and information.

The training is fun and interactive, and your staff will be able to gain ideas from other professionals, build on their knowledge and have an opportunity to plan how they can implement the programme to support families within their setting.
