Come along and share books with your child and chat about reading for pleasure with school staff. Encouraging a love of reading is important so that both adults and children can experience the benefits. Being read to consistently throughout childhood is key to encouraging children to read for pleasure. Reading teaches children about the world around them. Exploring different worlds, characters and scenarios stimulates a child’s imagination and develops their empathy. Sharing this experience as a family or group enhances learning, creating chances for people to discuss ideas, beliefs and ways of life that might be different to what they know and see around them.
