Reading Together® programme

Today, Thursday 9th May, we will be having our first Reading Together® workshop. This will happen in Kiwa and Rakaitapatahi after kura. We would love for whānau to come and share your child's reading and the experiences they have in class. We will also be sharing how they learn to read.
