The age to start reading with our children!

Observatory had a parent workshop on Saturday the 5th of May; 35 parents turned out, and a nutritious meal was served whilst discussing the joys of reading: a demonstration of paired reading was a very powerful tool to show the ease at which children can engage with text. Thank you to everyone involved.
