Lets Get Reading

WOW.... What a wonderful session we all had!

All the parents arrived and greeted each other with a hug and smiles. It was wonderful to see them all chatting and making each other cups of tea/coffee. The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly with laughter spread around the room.

Miss Man kicked started the session by getting the parents singing phonic songs. The rest of the session was all about reading with their children.

The parents worked together to read a variety of dual language books. Some parents read in their home language to the rest of the group whilst Linda read the story in English.

Some parents worked together as a group to discuss the pictures and text. They shared good ideas with each other and had a good discussion about how their child responded.

A big thank you to Lorraine Beacon (PSA from Oak Dale Junior School) and Barbara Wright (Senior Education Officer Children's Services) who also attended this session and worked with a group of parents.

All the parents were engaged and enjoyed working together.

The parents worked very hard to undergo all the activities Miss Man set them and fully accomplished all objectives set for that session.

A BIG WELL DONE TO ALL THE PARENTS FOR WORKING SO HARD.
