Home Learning Environment Project
70 settings have been trained to deliver the Making it REAL home learning programme in Lewisham.
The Making it REAL home learning programme involves trained practitioners working with families through a series of quality interaction visits to demonstrate how parents can support early communication, language and literacy through everyday activities in the home learning environment.
“Great project, visible results and impact on children and families on literacy” (practitioner)
“The REAL project was great inspiration and insight into no-cost and low-cost activities. My two children thoroughly enjoyed it – it has been a game-changer. I would highly recommend this project to other families” (parent)
You will receive high-quality 2-day training including a comprehensive training resource, support to deliver the programme and be able to join the Making it REAL network, where practitioners come together to support each other. There is also grant funding available for new settings, as well as additional incentives for new settings taking part.
