Teacher/ House Mother training for Home from Home, May 2009

Shine was invited by Pippa Shaper from Home from Home to go out to
one of their premises in Khayelitsha to give a short training session to some of their house mother and assistants.

We covered 'paired reading,' 'shared reading' and the importance of books and story -time in the children's lives,and the significance of 'have a go' writing. We spent two hours plus talking about the importance of books for all ages, starting with babies, and how to encourage the children to read. We used a combination of Shine resources and Praesa/ Centre for the book material. Thank you Pippa for enabling us to come and visit one of your centres, and share our teaching methods and resources.The true spirit of Ubuntu: a wonderful opportunity for professional sharing.
