Early Reading Together® Workshops

The Early Reading Together® programme consists of three 1¼ hour workshops for small groups of parents/whānau (no more than 15). The workshops are led by experienced school teachers and/or early childhood educators, and held in informal settings at times which suit the Workshop Leaders and parents involved. Librarians provide support, where possible.
