Reading Together® at Te Aro School

Excerpts follow from page 7 of the Te Aro School Annual Report 2019, available here:

Bernice and Natasha facilitated a series of Reading Together® workshops in Term 4. Eleven families with children in the junior school attended these series of workshops. Feedback from the parents who participated in the workshops was overwhelmingly positive. Parents spoke about:

• understanding more about how children learn to read
• realising how complex learning to read is
• learning different strategies to support their child reading with them at home, including selecting appropriate reading material
• the importance of being relaxed
• how much more enjoyable reading was now
• how their child's confidence had grown
• how good it was to share their concerns with other parents
