In our 'First Five Forever' workshops in local libraries, we show you how to lay the foundations for literacy. Interacting with children through sharing books, stories, songs and nursery rhymes in the early years supports language and literacy development. It helps build a solid early language and literacy foundation to enable your child to learn to read and write in the years to follow at school.
Participants from today's workshop at Burpengary local library, please leave a comment to go into the draw for "The Very Itchy Bear". Good luck!
