Before you can join this course, you will need to talk to a member of staff and do an initial assessment to make sure the course is right for you. For more information and to book an appointment please call 0300 303 3464. We will use examples from real life (letters, newspapers, adverts, stories, forms) to read for information. This will help you to recognise common words, and identify if they are nouns, verbs or adjectives. We will use pictures and the way that a piece of writing looks to help to find information and identify who it is for, and what it is communicating. .
