Resources for Parents

Early reading, writing, and phonics support that fits real life.

As an Early Literacy Specialist and SENCo, I help stretched-thin mums raise confident readers and writers with early years literacy activities that are simple, purposeful, and designed to work in the moments you already have.

The Phonics at Home Curriculum

Support your child with phonics lessons at home.

The Phonics at Home Curriculum was created by a former teacher and SENCo, and carefully designed to fit into the chaos and calm of everyday life, so learning never feels like one more thing on your to-do list.

"My little boy is engaged throughout the lessons thanks to the interactive movement games, songs for each sound, and writing opportunities. He even asked to do more lessons as soon as we finished the first one! I get to actually enjoy learning with him, instead of worrying if I'm doing it right." 

Holly, Mum to Mateo

Hi, I’m Del.

Early Literacy Specialist, SENCo, mum, and founder of The Little Reading Nest.

Motherhood was a shock to the system, even after years of teaching Early Years.

I knew how to support my daughter’s learning in small, meaningful ways, but online, all I found were extremes: overly complicated activities or total burnout.

I created The Little Reading Nest to offer a calm middle ground - practical phonics help, no-pressure ideas, and the reminder that you’re already doing more than enough.
