Empowering Whānau at Our 'Early Reading Together' Workshop
At Primrose Street, fostering a love of learning from an early age is a core belief. Recently, we hosted the 'Early Reading Together' workshop, designed to help whānau encourage early literacy skills at home with their tamariki. The workshop was a resounding success, for our centre whānau and their tamariki.
Our experienced educators and certified literacy coach shared practical tips and interactive activities to empower parents in their roles as their child's first teacher. Emphasising the importance of early literacy, the workshop highlighted how reading with children can enhance language skills and strengthen whānau connections. Parents learned hands-on strategies for incorporating reading into daily routines, such as choosing age-appropriate books and creating a reading-friendly environment at home.
Interactive reading techniques were also demonstrated, making the experience fun and engaging for children. Building a supportive community was another key aspect of the workshop. Parents connected with one another, shared experiences, and built relationships that will last beyond the event, reinforcing our belief that when parents and educators work together, children thrive. This belief is the foundation of our centre's local curriculum, 'Thrive by Five.' Primrose Street is committed to being SET for School, ensuring children are socially, emotionally, and academically prepared for their school journey.
The workshop exemplified this commitment by equipping parents with the tools and confidence needed to support their child's literacy development.
