Workshop last Tuesday.

We had a very informative workshop last week, which was pleasingly well attended by both established reading partners and new faces: thank you for your continued support. Maurita was able to give us some further pointers on teaching literacy: the workshop gave us the opportunity to discuss our own individual requirements with our children, and we were able to share methods and techniques to aid the learning-to-read process. We were given two very helpful documents, which Maurita has sent all of those with access to e mail a copy. The Tips on Teaching Phonological Awareness and Teaching the Alphabet are helpful tools, reminding us of the teaching and learnign process. it was a very useful way to spend the hour, and I think we all came away excited by the new developments at the centre.
