LITERACY WORKSHOPS

The last of our four Reading Together® workshops was held this week. A huge thank you to the whānau who participated. It was so wonderful to have so many engaged and willing participants. 

Some feedback includes:

• I now have a more consistent approach and timetable to the home learning and literacy time, be it a shared book or a home reading/learning activity.
• My child seems happier and I have some strategies to support her.
• Knowing how to give good specific feedback was useful.
• As an adult I am now more engaged while we are reading together. I have some ideas of how to maintain my child's interest and involve them when reading together.
• Both myself and my child have an improved attitude towards our home learning and it is more enjoyable for the both of us.
• Understanding that developing vocabulary is very important especially as a second language family.
• Being reminded of how difficult it is to learn to read was empowering.
