The Real project is funded by the Big Lottery Fund Family Learning programme and will see eight children's centres in Sheffield and Oldham working with Professor Cathy Nutbrown at the University of Sheffield and the Early Childhood Unit over a three-year period.
A team of early years teachers, practitioners and local authority officers will receive training in the Real approach, and families will be invited to receive a series of home visits and attend special events and workshop sessions.
The approach seeks to develop confidence, model practice and increase knowledge of how to interact with children and respond to their progress.
Real aims to build on what parents already do at home to help children learn, and provides support for families to ensure there are more opportunities for children to learn through books and stories, songs and rhymes.
