Why KS1 English Support Matters

KS1 is an important stage for building early literacy skills. Children begin to develop confidence with phonics, reading, spelling, handwriting, sentence writing and speaking clearly. When these foundations are secure, pupils are more likely to feel comfortable joining in at school and tackling new English tasks.
Our KS1 English tuition gives children extra time to practise key skills, revisit areas they find difficult and build confidence step by step.
