Category: Reading

It goes without saying that Literacy incorporates reading; so why is this a section all on it’s own?

Simple answer; reading is the key to all learning. Learning to read and supporting your child’s journey with reading is one of the most important things you can do in terms of their academia. Nurturing a love of books will not only give them a way of relaxing and unwinding, it also provides the opportunity to access a wealth of information that means they will never stop learning. An opportunity to experience a wonderful, rich language. Basically it gives your child the key to a world that will excite and enrich their lives from now and throughout their lives.

Love books, love reading, love learning! Simple!
