Reading Together
Next term Glenbrook School will be running an exciting series called Reading Together. This was last run a few years ago and is a great opportunity offered again. ...
Parent Comment:
"I think that the programme is excellent, relaxed and friendly - should be compulsory for all parents. I only wish that it was around when my other two children were at primary school."

Quoting from Parent Feedback about the Reading Together® programme sourced from here:

"Understanding the process of the children's learning to read has really helped me to be more patient with my daughter."
"Before the workshop it was a real struggle to read together now we have made it into an enjoyable experience each day."
"It was a really great programme."
"Session 3 had a lot of 'lightbulb' moments for me - really helped me appreciate what the kids see when they try to read."
"Reinforced the importance of reading."
"Valuable programme where it's just good to hear that there are other parents in the same boat with children struggling with reading - makes you feel not so alone."
"I wish these skills taught were available when teaching my first to read rather than the last. Would have made the process a lot easier over the years."
"This course is great for new parents learning to deal with school and homework."
