Making it REAL - Raising Early Achievement in Literacy

FREE training and intervention project

Making it REAL (Raising Early Achievement in Literacy) is an award-winning programme that works with practitioners to support

• children's early literacy (pre reading and writing)
• parental confidence to support children's development at home

It is based on evidence from the original DfE funded REAL project delivered by Professors Cathy Nutbrown and Peter Hannon at the University of Sheffield.

We are rolling out this free training across the county. Funded by Public Health, the Making it REAL Essex project will run until July 2027 and all practitioners are settings are invited to take part.

In addition to the literacy element, training will also be delivered for the MiR Maths Approach in year two of this project. The initial training must be completed first.
