What to Expect
Reading aloud is a wonderful way to spark a lifelong love of books in children. This program encourages young readers to develop their storytelling skills by improving comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and expression. Each session features popular children’s fiction and picture books, creating a cozy and interactive environment.
The sessions are designed for children aged 6 to 10 years and run during the school term on Wednesdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. Parents and guardians can expect a nurturing space where their children can engage with stories and participate in discussions.
This is a perfect activity for parents looking to support their children's literacy development in a fun and social setting.
