Coffee Morning - Friday 3rd March
Power of Picture Books: Developing a love of reading
Mr. Josh Blue, Vice-Principal:
Next Friday, March 3rd, I’ll be facilitating a discussion around the importance of picture books in developing a love of reading amongst children. I’ll touch upon a few strategies to use at home, suggest picture books and chapter books for you to read aloud with your children and answer any general questions around nurturing a love of reading at home. Picture books are for everyone so this mini-workshop is for parents across the school. And if time permits, we might even have a story or two ourselves.
See you on the 3rd of March!
