"The feedback from parents and children was very positive. They all enjoyed the session and a couple of the dads
in particular were inspired by the session. The teachers were also pleased and those that had seen you previously
said that it was even more enjoyable and appropriate this time.
Thank you - we would certainly be pleased to welcome you back in the future."

Sessions during Nov. 09 & Jan. 10

Enhance both story sharing and reading

Adults will experience techniques that could enhance their story sharing at home.

About 1¼ hrs. including a coffee break when the children go out for a run around.

This format is flexible and can be adjusted to suit your requirements.
If you would prefer something different, please ask.
 

The session is relaxed and informative.

Parents will leave inspired, excited - and raring to have a go.

1. An interactive song for all.
2. A story for the children, whilst the parents/carers look on and learn.
3. The song revisited with instruments.
4. Children leave for a break.
    Coffee/tea served.
    I answer questions and highlight a few simple and easy story sharing/reading approaches.
    These will have been illustrated.
5. The children return for a story and song that will also involve the adults.

The aim is to illustrate to parents/carers that they can very easily raise their level of involvement
in the story sharing they do with their children at home.

I also emphasise:
Story sharing can be an holistic experience for the parent and child.
Their approach to reading with their children is critical. How they feel about it will be transmitted
and transferred to their children and, if positive, could have long term benefits.

This session is available on its own. Fee: Please enquire.
It may also be available as an extended session within a full, or half day booking. There is often no extra cost.
However, if the session takes place after school, there will be an extra cost.
