What can we do for Schools?
Welcome
At Flourish we believe in engaging children in learning to read and write and developing a positive reading culture throughout schools. Learning to read should be a fun, positive experience for children alongside being taught in a structured, step by step way. We can offer a range of services to support the teaching of reading and writing which can be tailored to each individual school’s needs.
​
Everything we do is with YOUR setting in mind. Nothing is generic. What your children and staff need is our only priority.
