FAQs

What age is the Space Camp for?

Children who are in Year 1 and will be taking the Phonics Screening Check in June. It is also helpful for any children who do not pass the screening check, so they can continue practicing at home, before having another chance to take it in Year 2.

Do I need a printer?

Space Camp includes printable PDFs but they can also be accessed on a device. The printable activities could also be recreated using a pen and paper if you don't have access to a printer.
