Sometimes, as a busy parent, reading with your child can be reduced to a few stressful minutes of reading his/her school book between all the other demands of the day. While we know reading has innumerable benefits for our children, it can be so hard to FIND THE TIME. This is why we are proud to announce the beginning of a new initiative to inject some energy into reading with your child.
Every now and then, for the months of October, November and December 2015, we will drop you a text, suggesting ideas you may not have considered for building your child's literacy skills.
Hopefully, you'll have a chance to try out some of these ideas and have a new kind of fun with your child!
There are different texts for each class level so if you have more than one child in our school, you'll get double (or treble!) the number of texts - even more ideas to try out with all the family!
We hope that every family will give this initiative a try. However, if you do NOT wish to be included, just complete the form to opt out on our FIND THE TIME page.
We are also enthusiastic to get feedback on this initiative - please let us know any feedback you have on it, positive or negative. The feedback form is on our FIND THE TIME page too.
Happy reading!
Caitriona, Principal.
Anita, literacy coordinator.
Aoife, FIND THE TIME coordinator.
Please note that texts sent as part of this initiative will be posted to our dedicated FIND THE TIME page and not to this page.
