Unlocking the Power of Early Literacy

Hannah and Ruth spearheaded a parent workshop aimed at assisting parents in comprehending pre-reading and reading activities for their children at home. They provided practical ideas and resources for parents to implement in a home setting. Hannah elucidated the significance of intensive interaction, offering insights on engaging with children at home through this method, building their vocabulary, and fostering communication skills.

Following that, Ruth led the parents through activities like “Squiggle while you Wiggle,” “Read Write Inc,” and “Colourful Semantics.”

Heartfelt thanks are extended to the parents who participated in the workshop!

The training was led by our school English Leads, exemplifying our commitment to educational engagement. As part of our ongoing dedication to fostering a collaborative learning environment, our school regularly offers a diverse range of free workshops to carers and parents throughout the year.
