‘Targeting Reading, Children Succeeding’
We are excited to see so many of our prep children engaging with reading. We are encouraging our parents and caregivers to make a regular time for reading every day with all children, regardless of their age.
This week’s reading tips:
- Enjoy the material with your child.
- Turn off the television and other devices.
- Let your child know you enjoy the time together.
- Make listening to reading a special time. Your child will sense when listening to reading is becoming boring for you.
- Be a reader yourself.
- Talk about what you are reading and why.
- Give a book as a reward or a surprise.
- Encourage your child to make use of the school and local libraries.
