Workshop for parents and carers - Teaching literacy to your children starts early, here is how... |
Did you know that parents are the key teachers of children when they are in the early age period before preschool? At this age there is a wonderful bond with your child, and it is the ideal time to start to create enjoyment and enthusiasm for children to read. UniSA’s Associate Professor in Early Childhood Education, Susan Hill says that “Parents who encourage ‘live’ language learning by reading with their babies and singing and chanting rhymes, can give their children a head start of up to five years of language-rich interaction before starting school”. If you would like to know more about early literacy for your children, there will be a workshop held on November 3rd 11am-1pm at the Glenmore Park Youth Centre. This workshop is for parents and caregivers of children up to 2 years. For more information and bookings please contact Amie on (02) 47331499.
When: November 3rd 11am-1pm
Where: Glenmore Park Youth Centre
Cost: FREE
Childcare provided $2 per child, limited spaces only
