What to Expect
Reading aloud is a delightful and simple way to spark a lifelong love of books in children. This program invites children aged 6-10 to gather in a cozy corner and explore popular fiction and picture books together. It’s a wonderful opportunity for your child to improve comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and expression in a supportive setting.
The sessions encourage active participation through discussion and storytelling, making reading an interactive and enjoyable experience. Each week offers a new selection of stories to keep young minds curious and engaged.
Perfect for parents looking to nurture their child's reading skills and confidence, this program runs during the school term and is designed to fit comfortably into your weekday routine.
